Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 9 March 2004 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Decision No .../2004/EC on establishing a Community action programme to promote activities in the field of the protection of the Community's financial interests

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 280(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the Court of Auditors (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The Community and the Member States have set themselves the objective of countering fraud and any other illegal activities affecting the Community's financial interests. All available means must be deployed to attain that objective, whilst maintaining the current distribution and balance of responsibilities between the national and Community levels.

(2)

Activities with the purpose of providing better information, carrying out studies and providing training or technical and scientific assistance in the fight against fraud help significantly to protect the Community's financial interests.

(3)

Activities in this field should therefore be promoted and bodies engaged in this field should be supported by awarding operating grants. Experience has shown the value of providing support at Community level as compared with national promotional activities.

(4)

Support for bodies and activities was provided until 2003 by credits entered in lines A03600 and A03010 (Conferences, congresses and meetings in connection with the activities of the associations of European lawyers for the protection of the financial interests of the Community) and in line B5-910 (General measures to combat fraud) of the general budget of the European Union.

(5)

Article 112 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) lays down strict conditions for financial assistance for measures specified in a basic instrument which have already begun.

(6)

It is therefore necessary to adopt that basic instrument so that, by adopting this Decision establishing a structured, specific and multidisciplinary Community action programme for a substantial period, all existing support measures are rationalised and supplemented.

(7)

The programme should be opened up to all Member States and neighbouring countries in view of the importance of providing effective and equivalent protection for the Community's financial interests beyond the Member States alone.

(8)

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, when adopting Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002, undertook to achieve the objective of ensuring that this basic act comes into force as from the financial year 2004.

(9)

The support measures should also take account of the particular characteristics of bodies involved in protecting the Community's financial interests.

(10)

This Decision lays down for the entire duration of the programme a financial framework constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (4), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.

(11)

The Commission should present to the European Parliament and the Council an interim report by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) on the implementation of this programme and a final report on the attainment of the said programme's objectives.

(12)

This Decision complies with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.

(13)

This Decision is without prejudice to the grants awarded in the field of protection of the Community's financial interests on the basis of programmes concerning the law-enforcement aspect,

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Objective of the programme

1.   This Decision establishes a Community action programme to promote activities in the field of the protection of the financial interests of the Community. The programme shall be known as the ‘HERCULE‧ programme.

2.   The purpose of the programme shall be to help protect the Community's financial interests by promoting activities and supporting bodies in accordance with the general criteria set out in the Annex and specified in detail in each annual grants programme.

2.   The bodies to receive grants for activities shall be selected following a call for proposals, in accordance with the priorities set out in the annual grants programme, which details the general criteria referred to in the Annex. Grants awarded for an activity covered by the programme shall meet the general criteria set out in the Annex.

3.   The bodies to receive operating grants shall be selected following a call for proposals. The award of an operating grant on the basis of a beneficiary's ongoing work programme shall meet the general criteria set out in the Annex. On the basis of the call for proposals, the Commission shall draw up a list of the beneficiaries and the amounts approved, in accordance with Article 116 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

1.   ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED

The general objective laid down in Article 1 is to reinforce Community action to prevent fraud affecting the Community's financial interests and to combat such fraud by promoting actions in this field and the operation of bodies engaged in it.

Activities of bodies which may help to reinforce and increase the effectiveness of Community action, in accordance with Article 2, include the following:

2.   CARRYING OUT THE ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED

The activities carried out by bodies which may receive a Community grant under the programme come under the heading of actions aimed at strengthening Community measures to protect financial interests and pursue objectives of general European interest in this field or an objective which is part of the European Union's policy in this area.

In accordance with Article 2 of the Decision, the following bodies shall have access to the programme:

all national or regional administrations of a Member State or country outside the Community, as defined in Article 3, which promote the strengthening of the Community's action in the field of the protection of the Community's financial interests;

all research and education institutes that have had legal personality for at least one year and are established and operating in a Member State or in a country outside the Community, as defined in Article 3, and that promote the strengthening of the Community's action in protecting its financial interests;

all non-profit-making bodies that have had legal personality for at least one year and are legally established in a Member State or country outside the Community, as defined in Article 3, and that promote the strengthening of Community action to protect the Community's financial interests.

An annual operating grant may be awarded to support implementation of such a body's ongoing programme of work.

3.   SELECTION OF BENEFICIARIES

Bodies entitled to receive a grant for the activity or an operating grant under point 2 will be selected on the basis of calls for proposals.

4.   CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANT APPLICATIONS ON WHICH ASSESSMENT IS BASED

Applications for grants for activities or, where appropriate, operating grants are assessed in the light of:

consistency of the proposed activity in relation to the objectives of the programme;

complementarity of the proposed activity with other assisted activities;

feasibility of the proposed activity, i.e. the real possibility that it can be carried out using the proposed means;

the cost-benefit ratio;

the added utility of the proposed activity;

size of public targeted by the proposed activity;

transnational and multidisciplinary aspects of the activity;

geographic scope of the proposed measure.

5.   ELIGIBLE EXPENDITURE

Pursuant to point 2, only the expenditure required for the successful implementation of the activity is taken into account when calculating the grant.

Also eligible is expenditure in connection with the participation of representatives of the Balkan countries forming part of the stabilisation and association process for countries of south eastern Europe (1) and certain countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (2).

6.   CHECKS AND AUDITS

6.1   The beneficiary of an operating grant must keep available for the Commission all the supporting documents, in particular the audited financial statement, regarding expenditure incurred during the grant year for a period of five years following the last payment. The beneficiary of a grant must ensure that, where applicable, supporting documents in the possession of partners or members are made available to the Commission.

6.2   The Commission may have an audit of the use made of the grant carried out either directly by its own staff or by any other qualified outside body of its choice. Such audits may be carried out throughout the lifetime of the agreement and for a period of five years from the date of payment of the balance. Where appropriate, the audit findings may lead to recovery decisions by the Commission.

6.3   Commission staff and outside personnel authorised by the Commission have appropriate right of access to sites and premises where the action is carried out and to all the information, including information in electronic format, needed in order to conduct such audits.

6.4   The Court of Auditors and OLAF must enjoy the same rights, especially of access, as the persons referred to in point 6.3.

6.5   Furthermore, in order to protect the European Community's financial interests against fraud and other irregularities, the Commission carries out on-the-spot checks and inspections under this programme in accordance with Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 of 11 November 1996 concerning on-the-spot checks and inspections carried out by the Commission in order to protect the European Communities' financial interests against fraud and other irregularities (3). Where necessary, investigations must be conducted by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and governed by Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

7.   MANAGEMENT OF THE PROGRAMME

On the basis of a cost-effectiveness analysis, the Commission may employ experts and make use of any other form of technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced under ad hoc service contracts. It may also finance studies and organise meetings of experts to facilitate the implementation of the programme, and take information, publication and dissemination measures directly linked to fulfilling the objectives of the programme.

Monitoring the application of Community law

Motion for a European Parliament resolution on the Commission Communication on better monitoring of the application of Community law (COM(2002) 725 — C5-0008/2003 — 2003/2008(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission Communication (COM(2002) 725) — C5-0008/2003),

having regard to the Commission's twentieth annual report on monitoring the application of Community law (2002) (COM(2003) 669),

having regard to the Commission staff working paper (SEC(2003) 804),

having regard to Rules 47(2) and 163 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market (A5-0109/2004),

A.

whereas the Commission's practice of annually reporting to Parliament about the application of Community law has been established for over twenty years,

B.

whereas this series of reports makes it possible, over the long run, to judge how far the Community has genuinely committed itself to upholding the rule of law, both through the conduct of the Commission as guardian of the Treaties and through the conduct of the Member States as their ultimate masters,

C.

whereas, in particular, these reports depict both the quality of Member States' performance in transposing directives, and their degree of commitment to the loyal fulfilment of their resultant Community obligations,

D.

whereas the correct monitoring of these actions requires the following:

qualitative judgements concerning the practices adopted in actually applying the law, and

quantitative reporting on the number of directives whose transposition or effective implementation is delayed by reference to established deadlines or whose transposition is otherwise deficient,

E.

whereas much of the Commission's activity in securing the implementation of Community law originates from complaints that citizens make to the Commission about what they consider to be infringements,

F.

whereas the annual average number of complaints lodged by citizens has increased from 536 in 1983-89 to 1 346 in 1999-2002,

G.

whereas over the whole period, the primary areas of citizen complaint have been: the single market (36 % 1990-98, 27 % 1999-2002); the environment (31 % 1990-98, 40 % 1999-2002); and agriculture (14 % 1990-98, 4 % 1999-2002); environmental concerns are thus becoming predominant among activist citizens,

H.

whereas the increase in the number of complaints illustrates the vital role that activist citizens play in the application of Community law,

I.

whereas in its resolution of 3 June 2003 on the Commission's eighteenth and nineteenth annual reports about the implementation of Community law (1), Parliament called on the Commission to keep complainants fully informed of the progress of their complaints and to copy to complainants all correspondence exchanged between the Commission and Member States in pursuance of their complaint,

J.

whereas it appears that the Commission generally maintains a satisfactory degree of vigilance in upholding the rule of law in respect of the matters covered in the twentieth report and its predecessors; whereas these reports constitute in themselves an essential tool for Parliament to play its role in scrutinising the performance of the executive,

K.

whereas the number of preliminary references is a result of the quality of Community legislation,

L.

whereas failure by the Community legislature to produce legislation of good quality can itself be detrimental to the correct understanding and application of Community law, hence faithful observance of the inter institutional agreement of 16 December 2003 on Better law-making (2) will be of great importance and should be tracked in future annual reports,

M.

whereas Member States regularly fail to fulfil, or at least to fulfil expeditiously, some of the obligations that their Governments freely undertake as participants in the legislative process of the Community, and sometimes show a cynical disregard for their manifest obligations by deferring compliance until the latest possible stage in an enforcement action, or by disregarding legal obligations (e.g. those under the Stability and Growth Pact) so as to bring about de facto legal change,

N.

whereas the Community institutions have a duty to ensure that the citizens of Europe can fully exercise their rights in the Union, in particular as regards access to justice and the implementation of rights that have been judicially declared and upheld after due process of law,

O.

whereas the Commission has to undertake some responsibility for assisting Member State authorities to achieve a timely transposition and efficient implementation at regional and local as well as at central state level,

P.

whereas the Commission has developed its SOLVIT system for solving certain politically uncontroversial problems of individual application of Community law through a network of administrative agencies of Member States; whereas this system is available to MEPs and their assistants,

1.

Welcomes the improvements in monitoring suggested by the Commission in its Communication;

2.

Welcomes the Commission's commitments in response to recommendations by the Ombudsman about the Commission's relations with complainants (COM (2002) 141 final), but regrets that they fall short of keeping complainants fully informed of the progress of their complaints and copying to complainants all correspondence exchanged between the Commission and Member States in pursuance of their complaint;

3.

Welcomes the Commission's resolve, stated in the aforementioned working paper SEC (2003) 804, to ensure, especially in field of environmental law, that Community rules are ‘enforcement-friendly‧, that guidelines and interpretative texts are prepared in consultation with all stakeholders, that there is proactive contact with Member States (including, it is hoped, their relevant regional authorities), and that use is made of the informal EU network on implementing environmental law;

4.

Generally supports the Commission's efforts to solve problems of transposition proactively rather than reactively;

5.

Reiterates its desire to see enhanced cooperation between Members of the European Parliament and, including, where appropriate, regional or other local Members, to aid and increase effective scrutiny of European matters at national level; considers that parliaments at all levels play a valuable role in the monitoring of the application of Community law, thus helping to strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the Union and bring it closer to its citizens;

6.

Reiterates, therefore, its recommendation to the Commission to send its annual reports on the monitoring of the application of Community law to national parliaments for transmission, as may be appropriate, to the relevant internal parliaments;

7.

Deplores the fact that, notwithstanding the Commission's assiduous activity to ensure proper application of Community law, there remain glaring examples of drawn-out and pertinacious failures by Member States to comply with declared obligations, thereby undermining the ideal of the Union as a Community based on law;

8.

Welcomes the Commission's intention to give priority to infringement proceedings under Article 228 EC, and to reinforce the machinery at its disposal for performing its task of monitoring the implementation of Community law;

9.

Calls once again on the Commission to set short deadlines for the pre-litigation phase of the procedure for breach, which should be concluded by a predefined deadline, to be established from the outset;

10.

Recalls that petitions forwarded by individuals to the Commission, the Ombudsman and Parliament's relevant committees enable the European Union to assess the way in which Community law is being implemented at national and European level;

11.

Calls once again on the Commission to make every effort to shorten the relatively long delay in dealing with complaints or petitions and to find practical solutions to the problems submitted by deciding, upon receipt of the case, whether alternative methods, such as package meetings, SOLVIT or formal procedures are more appropriate;

12.

Reiterates its belief that close cooperation and monitoring arrangements between the Commission, the Council, the Ombudsman and Parliament's relevant committees are essential to ensure effective intervention in all cases where the petitioner has justifiably complained of an infringement of Community law;

13.

Strongly deplores the conduct of the Commission towards Parliament and, in particular, its competent committee in the case concerning Lloyd's of London, in relation to which there has been an obstinate refusal to communicate fully with Parliament on all questions it has raised;

14.

Reiterates, yet again, its request for the Commission to include in its future annual reports on the monitoring of the application of Community law a chapter devoted to the petitions forwarded to it by Parliament's competent committees;

15.

Reiterates its request that the Commission draw up a list of all the reports relating to the application of Community law, whether of a general or sectoral nature, by the national authorities of the European Economic Area Member States;

16.

Welcomes the steps the Commission has taken in monitoring the area of freedom, security and justice in accordance with the principles of Community law, and takes note of the contents of Section 2.15 of the Commission's twentieth annual report; however, in this context, reiterates its call for the Commission to produce, in future, a report on the application of European Union law which includes matters falling within the second and third pillar;

17.

Observes that the courts of some Member States virtually never request preliminary rulings pursuant to Article 234 of the Treaty, and repeats its call to the Commission to investigate the reasons for this and report thereon to Parliament;

18.

Notes with concern that the inadequate familiarity of members of national judiciaries and lawyers with Community law seriously hinders its full application;

19.

Welcomes initiatives to facilitate out-of-court settlement of disputes such as the European extra-judicial network and the Financial services complaints network; calls on the Commission to carefully monitor the progress of these bodies and report its results to the European Parliament as this process will constitute another helpful indicator of the application of Community rules and access to justice;

20.

In this connection, warmly welcomes the recent further development of the SOLVIT network; notes that generalised access for MEPs is now possible and that this should be made available on a systematic basis to all MEPs and their assistants; calls on the Commission and Member States to promote the network widely to potential users and to devote adequate resources thereto so as to ensure that it can deal with an increase in case flow;

21.

Encourages reflection on how the role of national and regional Ombudsmen in monitoring the application of Community law might be developed;

22.

Notes with concern that recent case law concerning individual applicants' right to institute proceedings before the Court of Justice fails to provide uniform interpretation and application of Community law, and regrets that even the Draft Constitution takes only timid steps towards improving the situation in this regard;

23.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the Ombudsman and the Parliaments of the Member States.

Biological and chemical agent attacks (health security)

European Parliament recommendation to the Council on cooperation in the European Union on preparedness and response to biological and chemical agent attacks (health security) (2003/2187(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the proposal for a recommendation to the Council by Anna Terrón i Cusí and Gerhard Schmid on behalf of the PSE Group on dealing with the possible threat of biological and chemical weapon attacks (B5-0407/2003),

having regard to Rule 49(3) of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs (A5-0097/2004),

A.

whereas the threat of terrorist attacks against Member States involving chemical and biological weapons is being discussed,

B.

whereas, in addition to early-warning systems in Member States, information exchange and sharing of laboratory capacities, it has also been suggested that vaccines, antibiotics, etc. be stockpiled at European level,

C.

whereas early-warning systems in Member States, information exchange and the sharing of laboratory capacities, as well as the stockpiling of vaccines, antibiotics, etc., could have a considerable impact on the budgets of the EU and the Member States and require targeted legislative measures,

D.

whereas budgetary and legal steps could be justified only on the basis of a clear risk analysis demonstrating a genuine probability of terrorist attacks in the EU involving biological and chemical weapons,

E.

whereas the necessary analyses clearly exceed the capabilities of the Commission,

1.

Addresses the following recommendations to the Council:

(a)

that it commission a realistic analysis of the threat posed, making use of European cooperation between national police forces and involving Europol and bearing in mind the results of cooperation between intelligence services in the fight against terrorism, in order to form the basis of a serious EU response,

(b)

that it communicate to Parliament in the appropriate form the general findings of this analysis that can, as such, be made public, so as to provide it with a rational basis for any relevant budgetary consultations,

(c)

that it initiate, in the light of the findings of the analysis, the necessary legislative steps to deal with biological and chemical weapons attacks;

2.

Instructs its President to forward this recommendation to the Council and, for information, to the Commission.

Data protection

European Parliament resolution on the First Report on the implementation of the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) (COM(2003) 265 — C5-0375/2003 — 2003/2153(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the First Report on the implementation of the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) (COM(2003) 265 — C5-0375/2003),

having regard to the texts that in international law protect the right to privacy, and notably Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 10 December 1948, Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 16 December 1966, Article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1) of 4 November 1950, the Convention for the protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data (2) of 28 January 1981 and the recommendations adopted by the Council of Europe,

having regard to Article 6 of the TEU (respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the EU) and Article 286 of the EC Treaty, as well as Articles 7 (respect for private and family life) and 8 (protection of personal data) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

having regard to the Community legislation which protects the right to privacy and to data protection, and notably European Parliament and Council Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3) and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (4),

having regard to other EU instruments concerning data protection in the field of the third pillar, and notably to the draft Greek Presidency working document on common rules for the protection of personal data within the framework of the third pillar, and having regard to the announcement made by Commissioner Vitorino that the Commission intended to propose a legal instrument on this issue in 2004 (5),

having regard to the opinions of the working party on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data established by Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC (the ‘Article 29 Working Party‧),

having regard to the documents relating to the transfer of transatlantic passengers' personal data to the USA, with particular reference to: the opinions of the Article 29 Working Party, the Commission communications, the US Undertakings, the opinion of the Belgian Committee on the Protection of Privacy on complaints by some passengers, and the complaint lodged with the Commission regarding the violation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2299/89 of 24 July 1989 on a code of conduct for computerized reservation systems (6),

having regard to the Court of Justice judgment of 20 May 2003 in the Österreichscher Rundfunk and Others case (7),

having regard to Rule 47(2) and Rule 163 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs and the opinions of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market and the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy (A5-0104/2004),

A.

whereas the right to privacy is a fundamental human right, as set out in all the main legal instruments that guarantee citizens' freedoms and rights at international, European and national level,

B.

whereas the EU has developed a legal regime aimed at guaranteeing citizens' privacy through a high standard of data protection in areas covered by the first pillar,

C.

whereas, due to the current pillar structure of the EU, activities that fall within the remit of the second and third pillars are excluded from this legal regime and are partially subject to fragmented specific provisions; whereas the European Parliament is only partially consulted and informed and whereas the Court of Justice has limited powers in this area,

D.

whereas Directive 95/46/EC charges the Commission with reporting to the Council and the European Parliament on the implementation of the directive and with proposing, if necessary, suitable amendments,

E.

whereas, since the terrorist attacks of September 2001, measures aimed at increasing security by modifying privacy and data protection rights have been adopted or are planned at national, European and international level,

F.

whereas data transfers to third states and organisations are an area of concern, both because of disparities in the laws of the Member States, some of which are excessively permissive and other excessively rigid, and, above all, because the binding assessment of the adequacy of the protection provided by recipients for a fundamental right of European citizens comes within the remit of the executive body, the Commission, and not that of Parliament,

G.

whereas negotiations are still underway between the EU and the US on the issue of the illegal transfer of transatlantic passengers' data to the US and whereas Parliament has asked the Commission to take action pursuant to Article 232 of the EC Treaty,

H.

whereas the Belgian Committee on the Protection of Privacy has ascertained that the personal data of some European transatlantic passengers — including a Member of the European Parliament — were transferred to the USA illegally, in violation of Belgian law and European directives,

I.

whereas the Article 29 Working Party stated in its opinion on the transfer to the USA of data relating to transatlantic passengers that ‘the progress made does not allow a favourable adequacy finding to be achieved‧, and whereas a large number of further issues need to be resolved before the Commission can take an adequacy decision,

J.

whereas the EU, its institutions and the Member States are required to comply with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, particularly Article 8 thereof, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the general principles of international law, and whereas the current policies of data retention and data transfer to third countries are likely to result in their being seriously breached,

K.

whereas the Commission and Member States and national privacy protection authorities are responsible for the effective implementation of national and European privacy laws and for punishing violations of those laws,

L.

whereas national and European laws on the transfer of personal data to third countries have been flagrantly breached by the transfer of transatlantic passengers' personal data to the US law-enforcement authorities, and whereas the Commission, the Member States and some privacy protection authorities — particularly those which under national law have the power to block data transfers — have substantially colluded in infringing the legislation and the principle of legality,

M.

whereas, in the global context of an Internet information society, solutions cannot be found within the EU only,

on the need for a comprehensive and trans-pillar European privacy and data protection regime

1.

Criticises the extremely serious delays that have occurred within the Commission in this matter and urges it to propose within the first half of 2004, as announced, a ‘legal instrument‧ on the protection of privacy in the third pillar; this instrument should be binding in nature and aimed at guaranteeing in the third pillar the same level of data protection and privacy rights as in the first pillar; it should harmonise, in accordance with those high standards, the current rules on privacy and data protection concerning Europol, Eurojust and all other third-pillar organs and actions, as well as any exchange of data between them and with third countries and organisations;

2.

Considers that, in the long term, Directive 95/46/EC should be applied, following the appropriate modifications, to all areas of EU activity, so as to guarantee a high standard of harmonised and common rules for privacy and data protection;

3.

Believes that compliance with privacy and data protection rules should be guaranteed by national supervisory authorities, a common EU authority, to which citizens will have the right to appeal, and the Court of Justice; maintains that Parliament should also be consulted on, and have decision-making powers in respect of, all proposals concerning or having an impact on the protection of privacy within the EU, such as international agreements involving its bodies, adequacy findings and so on;

4.

Considers that immediate steps should be taken to facilitate enjoyment by citizens of their right to privacy and protection of their personal data (access to data, correction, amendment, deletion, etc.), involving the introduction of a single procedure for national privacy authorities regarding data stored in national and European databases coming under the first and third pillars;

5.

Welcomes the fact that the Commission has conducted an open and in-depth consultation and debate with all interested parties (Member State governments and supervisory authorities, organisations, companies, citizens), on-line and off-line, on the implementation of the directive, and takes note of the results of this consultation;

on the implementation of Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC

6.

Deplores the fact that some Member States did not implement the directive before the deadline for transposition of 24 October 1998, thereby obliging the Commission to take legal action on 11 January 2000 against France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland, but notes that all Member States have now done so; calls on Ireland to immediately notify to the Commission its recent law of implementation; regrets the fact that the tardy implementation of the directive by the Member States and the continuing differences in the way in which it is applied at national level have prevented economic operators from drawing maximum benefit from it, and have blocked some cross-border activities within the European Union;

7.

Calls on all the parties concerned, European institutions, Member States and data protection authorities, as well as economic and societal actors, to make their contribution and cooperate to ensure correct implementation of the data protection principles regulated by the directive;

8.

Shares the view of the Commission that, since implementation of the directive has been slow and experience with it is still very limited, the directive should not be amended for the time being (except as indicated in paragraph 16), and that current shortcomings in the implementation of the directive should be overcome by actions taken at the European and national level by Member States and data protection authorities following the programme announced in the Commission's communication;

9.

Points out that the completion of the internal market is conditional upon guaranteed data protection; accordingly, calls on the Commission to highlight the areas in which diverging interpretations of the directive are hampering the smooth operation of the internal market, and to report on this to the European Parliament;

10.

Shares the Commission's view that, if after a deadline of six months this cooperation does not produce the results expected, it will bring those Member States failing or refusing to comply with the directive to Court; considers, in this connection, that the Commission should show particular vigilance and determination as regards the proper application of legal exceptions to privacy laws, so as to ensure compliance with the ECHR and the related case-law;

on data transfers to third states or organisations

11.

Welcomes the intention of the Commission to simplify the regulatory framework for enterprises as regards requirements for international transfers of data;

12.

Recalls that no exception should be allowed to the principle that first-pillar-related data can be transferred to third countries and organisations only if their level of data protection is similar to that of the EU;

13.

Points out, notably to Europol, Eurojust and other third-pillar organs, that law enforcement-related data can only be transferred on a case-by-case basis to countries or organs that respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy, the rule of law and European data protection standards, such as the data protection principles laid down by Council of Europe Recommendation R (87) 15 on the use of data of a personal nature in the police sector; asks, furthermore, to be consulted before — and receive reports after — such transfers take place; urges Europol and Eurojust to clarify and make available to citizens and to Parliament the necessary information on the exchange of data, whether personal or not, with third countries and organisations;

14.

Reiterates that, as stated in the opinion of the Belgian Committee on the Protection of Privacy, the opinions of the Article 29 Working Party and the report of the EU network of experts on human rights, EU data protection standards are seriously infringed when personal data are, without informing and obtaining the consent of the data subject, transferred or accessed directly and systematically by a third state party or law-enforcement authority, notably when data are collected for another purpose and without judicial authorisation, as in the case of US authorities accessing transatlantic passenger data collected in the EU by airline companies and electronic reservation systems;

15.

Agrees with the Article 29 Working Party's opinion on the inadequacy of the current privacy arrangements in the United States and on the latest version of the Undertakings, as well as on the remaining problem areas; considers the progress made in this connection during a year of negotiations between the Commission and the US authorities to be totally inadequate;

16.

Proposes that the directive be amended so as to make the assessment of the adequacy of the protection provided for the personal data of European citizens by a third country to which such data are to be transferred subject to Parliament's approval;

17.

Calls for the agreements currently being negotiated or already negotiated which entail the transmission of personal data between the EU and third countries or bodies to guarantee an adequate level of data protection and, in any case, to maintain the level guaranteed in Directive 95/46/EC;

on exceptions to privacy laws

18.

Believes that Member States' laws providing for the wide-scale retention of data related to citizens' communications for law-enforcement purposes are not in full conformity with the European Convention on Human Rights and the related case-law, since they constitute an interference with the right to privacy and fall short of the requirements of: being authorised by the judiciary on a case-by-case basis and for a limited duration, distinguishing between categories of people that could be subject to surveillance, respecting confidentiality of protected communications (such as lawyer-client communications), and specifying the nature of the crimes or the circumstances that authorise such an interference; believes, furthermore, that serious doubts arise as to their necessity within a democratic society and — as specified by Article 15 of Directive 2002/58/EC — as to their appropriateness and proportionality;

19.

Asks the Commission to produce a document on the right to privacy and the conditions for exceptions to be legal, on the basis of the European Convention on Human Rights, the related case-law and EU data protection directives and urges the EU institutions to launch an open and transparent debate on the basis of this document;

other concerns

20.

Asks the Member States to respect the criteria of legal clarity and legal certainty so as to ensure better regulation when implementing the directive in order to avoid any unnecessary burden on enterprises and particularly on SMEs;

21.

Stresses that the free movement of personal data is vital for the smooth operation of virtually all Union-wide economic activities; it is therefore necessary to resolve these differences of interpretation as soon as possible, to enable multinational organisations to frame pan-European data protection policies;

22.

Stresses the need for the Member States and the European institutions to adopt an equivalent level of protection of fundamental rights and protection of individuals in applying both Directive 95/46/EC and European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (8);

23.

Calls on the Commission to adopt an approach seeking to harmonise this directive with other legislative provisions, such as the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive for the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning consumer credit, in order to avoid inconsistencies between such proposals;

24.

Calls on Member States and supervisory authorities to create a less complex and burdensome environment for data controllers and agrees with the Commission on the need to avoid imposing requirements that could be dropped without any detrimental effects for the high level of protection guaranteed by the directive;

25.

Stresses that the management and protection of data are nowadays a critical factor of success for companies;

26.

Agrees with the Commission on the need for improvements to be made in order for economic operators to have a wider choice of standard contractual clauses in the field of data protection and that these should possibly be based on clauses submitted by business representative associations;

27.

Calls on Member States to ensure that data protection authorities are provided with the necessary means to comply with the tasks provided for by Directive 95/46/EC, and that they are independent and autonomous from national governments; considers that data protection authorities should keep enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness and play a more active role at national and European level in the framework of the Article 29 Working Party, for instance in helping to implement the programme proposed by the Commission and in ensuring that the law is implemented;

28.

Deplores that seven Member States — Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Portugal — have not respected the deadline for implementation of Directive 2002/58/EC set for 31 October 2003, and calls on them to take the necessary measures;

29.

Calls on the Commission, the Member States and national privacy authorities to carry out annual assessments of compliance with national and international privacy laws, irrespective of the pillar concerned, and, where appropriate, to submit amendments to legislation, to forward these amendments to the relevant bodies — particularly parliamentary bodies — and to make them publicly available, inter alia on the Internet;

30.

Expresses concern at the development of SIS and the Council plans under which SIS II should allow new categories of alerts (persons and objects) and new sectors to be added, alerts to be inter-linked, the period during which alerts may be stored to be changed, biometric data (especially photographs and fingerprints) to be registered and transferred, and access to be provided to new authorities, namely Europol, Eurojust and national judicial authorities, where necessary, for purposes other than those originally laid down, such as the service of European arrest warrants; deplores, furthermore, the legal confusion created by the fact that SIS covers both first and third pillar matters, with different levels of privacy protection;

31.

Expresses concern at the general approach taken by the Council to proposals seeking to incorporate biometric data (digital photographs and fingerprints) into visas and residence permits using an electronic chip, particularly because such data can easily be copied into centralised databases when checks are carried out; is concerned that new developments in the field of data protection, such as the possible use of biometrics, will put more demands on the supervisory authorities that are currently ‘under-resourced for their wide range of tasks‧ (COM(2003) 265); calls on the Member States to make additional resources available for the data protection supervisory authorities to ensure the effective functioning of the system;

32.

Calls on the Member States and national and European authorities to ensure that privacy legislation is not misused for the purposes or with the result of undermining the right of access to documents, administrative transparency and institutional advertising, or to make it excessively difficult for individuals to exercise their ‘right to be known‧; calls on the Commission to submit a report, on the basis of an opinion of the Article 29 Working Party, on this type of abusive conduct and to put forward guidelines and, where appropriate, legislative measures with a view to guarding against such practices;

33.

Calls on the Commission to continue to monitor the issue of video surveillance, not least in the light of national judicial rulings, and awaits the submission of the proposal on the protection of privacy at the workplace, of which advance notice has been given;

34.

Urges Eurojust to state exactly which national and European provisions it has been and is implementing, given that there is much confusion and some serious doubts surrounding this matter;

35.

Believes that self-regulation is a good means of avoiding excessively detailed legislation and calls on the business community to create a European code of conduct on personal data protection;

36.

Asks for an additional effort towards internationally agreed principles to be made at the national, European and international level in order to improve the application of OECD guidelines and the Council of Europe Convention;

37.

Points out that privacy and personal data protection should be part of the educational curriculum related to computers and the Internet; asks the Member States and the Commission to promote citizens' awareness in the field of data protection rights;

*

* *

38.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the national privacy authorities, Europol and Eurojust and the United States Government.

The rights of prisoners in the European Union

European Parliament recommendation to the Council on the rights of prisoners in the European Union (2003/2188(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the proposal for a recommendation to the Council by Marco Cappato and Giuseppe Di Lello Finuoli on behalf of the GUE/NGL Group on the rights of prisoners in the European Union (B5-0362/2003/rev.),

having regard to the European Union instruments dealing with the protection of human rights, in particular Articles 6 and 7 of the Treaty on European Union, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular Article 4 thereof, and the draft European Constitution, which would make that Charter binding,

having regard to the international instruments dealing with human rights and banning torture and inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment, in particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 5), the International Pact on Civil and Political Rights (Article 7), the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Optional Protocol to that Convention on the establishment of a system of regular visits by independent international and national bodies to places of detention,

having regard to the Council of Europe instruments dealing with human rights and the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment, in particular the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Article 3), the protocols to that Convention and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, the 1987 European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which established the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT), and the CPT's reports,

having regard to the instruments which deal more specifically with the rights of persons who have been deprived of their liberty, in particular: at United Nations level, the standard minimum rules on the treatment of prisoners and the declarations and principles adopted by the General Assembly; at Council of Europe level, Resolution (73)5 on standard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners, Recommendation R(87)3 on European prison rules, the other recommendations adopted by the Committee of Ministers (1) and the recommendations adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly,

having regard to the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (which were adopted by the General Assembly in its Resolution 45/113 of 14 December 1990) and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules), which were adopted by the General Assembly in its Resolution 40/33 of 29 November 1985,

having regard to its annual resolutions on respect for human rights in the European Union, its resolution of 18 January 1996 on poor conditions in prisons in the European Union (2), and its resolution of 17 December 1998 on prison conditions in the European Union: improvements and alternative penalties (3),

having regard to its repeated calls to the Commission and Council to propose a framework decision on the rights of prisoners (4),

having regard to the Council resolution on the treatment of drug addicts in prison and the Council Recommendation of 18 June 2003 on the prevention and reduction of health-related harm associated with drug dependence (5),

having regard to the report of the EU Network of Independent Experts in Fundamental Rights on the situation of fundamental rights in the EU and its Member States in 2002,

having regard to Rule 49(3) of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs (A5-0094/2004),

A.

whereas the European Union has set itself the task of developing an area of freedom, security and justice, and whereas, pursuant to Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union, it respects human rights and fundamental freedoms, thereby taking on positive obligations which it must meet in order to honour that commitment,

B.

whereas the application of the principle of the mutual recognition of criminal law decisions and the entry into force of the European arrest warrant have created an urgent need for additional measures in the area of the effective protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular in the light of the fact that the number of Member State nationals held in another Member State may rise as a result,

C.

whereas, according to Council of Europe statistics, on 1 September 2002 a total of 539 436 persons were being held in prison in the enlarged European Union, statistics which paint an alarming picture:

overcrowding;

excessive increase in the prison population;

rise in the number of foreign nationals being held;

high numbers of remand prisoners;

numerous cases of death and suicide,

D.

whereas the CPT's reports draw attention to the persistence of certain serious problems, such as illtreatment and the unsuitability of prison facilities, activities and health care,

E.

whereas Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights impose on the Member States not only negative obligations, by banning them from subjecting prisoners to inhuman and degrading treatment, but also positive obligations, by requiring them to ensure that prison conditions are consistent with human dignity and that thorough, effective investigations are carried out if such rights are violated,

F.

whereas the Council of Europe is in the process of revising its European Prison Rules, and whereas a proposal on the drafting of a European Prisons Charter has been put forward in the Parliamentary Assembly by Michel Hunault, rapporteur on the situation of European prisons and pre-trial detention centres,

G.

whereas only eight EU Member States and accession countries (Austria, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Italy, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom) have signed the Optional Protocol to the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and whereas only three (Spain, Malta and the United Kingdom) have ratified it,

H.

whereas some Member States grant national MPs and MEPs the right to visit and inspect prisons, and whereas it has called for that right to be granted to MEPs throughout the territory of the EU (6),

I.

whereas one of the problems to which Member States frequently draw attention is the lack of resources available to improve prisons, and whereas it may be necessary to create a budget heading with a view to encouraging them to comply with high standards and the CPT's recommendations,

J.

whereas providing decent conditions for prisoners and granting them access to schemes designed to prepare them for a return to society help to reduce the likelihood that they will re-offend,

K.

having regard to the existence of special prison regimes, whether legal or de facto, and pointing out that the CPT has expressed concern at the Italian regime known as 41 bis, that the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against Italy on account of the length of time which it has taken the Supervisory Court to consider the appeals lodged by a prisoner, and that in its report on 2002 the EU Network of Independent Experts in Fundamental Rights stated that ‘insofar as this exceptional regime comprises ... measures that bear no relation whatsoever to the objective of security, we may question its compatibility with the approach advocated by the CPT‧,

L.

whereas the situation in ‘residence centres for foreigners‧ is extremely alarming, as has recently been reported by Médecins sans Frontières in the case of Italy, for example, and whereas asylum-seekers' rights to legal assistance and healthcare are being violated,

M.

whereas the Member States have given an undertaking in the Council of Europe to extend the use of penalties which offer an alternative to prison and imprisonment,

N.

whereas the Council has adopted resolutions and recommendations (which are not always implemented by the Member States) concerning the specific problem of drug dependence and the reduction of the related risks, dealing in particular with the treatment of drug dependence in prison or outside,

O.

whereas, under the Italian Presidency, the Council launched an initiative on prisons,

1.

Addresses the following recommendations to the Council:

(a)

continue its activities on matters relating to prisoners, in particular by coordinating a joint position to which the Member States and accession countries can subscribe and by encouraging the Council of Europe to revise its European Prison Rules, incorporating a higher degree of protection on the basis of the principles drawn up by the CPT and the European Court of Human Rights;

(b)

encourage, on the basis of a joint contribution subscribed to by all the EU Member States, the drafting of a European Prisons Charter covering all the Council of Europe's Member States;

female supervisory staff or, if that proves physically impossible, a mixed supervisory staff as a minimum requirement,

an appropriate response to women's specific health and hygiene needs, including screening for breast cancer and cervical cancer;

special protection for pregnant women and for the mothers of young children by means of:

a diet suitable for pregnancy,

gynaecological examinations and labour taking place without handcuffs or any other form of restraint,

babies to be born outside prison,

declare that should this exercise not be completed in the near future, or should the outcome prove unsatisfactory, the European Union will draw up a Charter of the rights of persons deprived of their liberty which is binding on the Member States and which can be invoked before the Court of Justice;

(e)

urge the Member States and accession countries to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment which establishes a system of regular visits by independent international and national bodies to places of detention and which confers on those bodies the task of inspecting prisons and hearing appeals by prisoners and of drawing up a public annual report for the relevant parliaments, and encourage the European Union to incorporate a call to sign and ratify the Optional Protocol into its policy vis-à-vis third countries;

(f)

take measures at Union level so that national MPs are guaranteed the right to visit and inspect prisons and this right is likewise granted to MEPs on the territory of the EU;

(g)

urge the Member States to take action designed to prevent prison suicides and to carry out impartial investigations systematically in cases where a prisoner dies in prison;

(h)

initiate an assessment of the laws of the Member States in order to verify that they are consistent with the standards established by the Council of Europe, the CPT, the European Court of Human Rights and its relevant case-law and the observations of the UN Human Rights Committee, Committee against Torture and Special Rapporteur on Torture, and guarantee that the laws in question are actually applied;

(i)

call on the Member States to earmark appropriate resources for the restructuring and modernisation of detention centres and to provide the police and prison staff with training concerning prisoners' rights and the monitoring of prisoners suffering from psychological disorders, and create a specific EU budget heading with a view to encouraging such projects;

(j)

call on the CPT and the Council of Europe's Human Rights Commissioner to conduct a series of unannounced visits in Member States which have established special regimes, whether legal or de facto, including residence of centres for foreigners, and call on the EU Network of Independent Experts in Fundamental Rights to draw up an analysis of the compatibility of such regimes with fundamental rights and freedoms;

(k)

remind the Member States of the undertakings they have given in the Council of Europe to make greater use of penalties which offer an alternative to imprisonment, and urge them to step up their efforts in both the legislative and judicial spheres;

Daphne II ***II

European Parliament legislative resolution on the Council common position with a view to the adoption of a European Parliament and Council decision adopting a programme of Community action (2004-2008) to prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk (the Daphne II programme) (13816/1/2003 — C5-0599/2003 — 2003/0025(COD))

(Codecision procedure: second reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Council common position (13816/1/2003 — C5-0599/2003),

having regard to its position at first reading (1) on the Commission proposal to Parliament and the Council (COM(2003) 54) (2),

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 9 March 2004 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Decision .../2004/EC adopting a programme of Community action (2004-2008) to prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and to protect victims and groups at risk (the DAPHNE II programme)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 152 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

(1)

Physical, sexual and psychological violence against children, young people and women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life, constitute a breach of their right to life, safety, freedom, dignity and physical and emotional integrity and a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the victims of such violence. The effects of such violence are so widespread throughout the Community as to constitute a genuine health scourge and an obstacle to the enjoyment of safe, free and just citizenship.

(2)

It is important and necessary to recognise the serious immediate and long-term implications of violence for health, psychological and social development, and for the equal opportunities of those concerned, for individuals, families and communities, and the high social and economic costs to society as a whole.

(3)

According to the World Health Organisation's definition, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. A World Health Assembly resolution adopted at the 49th World Health Assembly in Geneva in 1996 declares that violence is a leading worldwide public health problem. The World report on violence and health presented by the World Health Organisation in Brussels on 3 October 2002 recommends promoting primary prevention responses, strengthening responses for victims of violence and increasing collaboration and exchange of information on violence prevention.

(4)

These principles are recognised in numerous conventions, declarations and protocols of the main international organisations and institutions such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organisation, the World Conference on Women and the World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. This important work performed by international organisations should be complemented by that of the Community. Indeed, Article 3(1)(p) of the Treaty requires Community action to include a contribution to the attainment of a high level of health protection.

(5)

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (4) reaffirms inter alia the rights to dignity, equality and solidarity. It includes a number of specific provisions to protect and promote physical and mental integrity, equal treatment for men and women, the rights of the child and non-discrimination, as well as to prohibit inhuman or degrading treatment, slavery and forced labour, and child labour.

(6)

The Commission has been called upon to draw up and implement action programmes to combat such violence by the European Parliament, inter alia in its Resolutions of 19 May 2000 on the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament. ‘For further actions in the fight against trafficking in women‧ (5), and of 20 September 2001 on female genital mutilation (6).

(7)

The action programme set up by Decision No 293/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 January 2000 adopting a programme of Community action (the Daphne programme) (2000 to 2003) on preventive measures to fight violence against children, young people and women (7), has helped increase awareness within the European Union and increase and consolidate cooperation between organisations in the Member States active in combating violence.

(8)

The Daphne programme has received an overwhelming response and clearly meets a deeply felt need within the voluntary sector. The funded projects have already started to have multiplying effects on activities by non governmental organisations and institutions in Europe. This programme has already substantially contributed to the development of EU policy on combating violence, trafficking, sexual abuse and pornography, with implications well beyond the boundaries of the European Union, as mentioned in the mid-term report of the Daphne programme.

(9)

In its Resolution of 4 September 2002 on the mid-term review of the Daphne programme (8), the European Parliament stresses that the Daphne programme meets a basic need for effective strategies to combat violence and that it must continue beyond 2003, and calls on the Commission to submit a proposal for a new action programme which incorporates all experience acquired since 1997 and which is allocated appropriate funding.

(10)

It is desirable to ensure continuity for the projects supported by the Daphne programme to carry on building on the experiences gained and to provide opportunities to promote the European added value stemming from these experiences and, to this end, it is necessary to establish a second phase of the programme, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Daphne II programme‧.

(11)

The Community can bring added value to the actions predominantly to be undertaken by Member States concerning the prevention of violence, including abuse and sexual exploitation perpetrated against children, young people and women and the protection of victims and groups at risk through the dissemination and exchange of information and experience, the promotion of an innovative approach, the joint establishment of priorities, the development of networking as appropriate, the selection of Community-wide projects and the motivation and mobilisation of all parties concerned. These actions should also encompass children and women brought to the Member States through human trafficking. The Community can also identify and stimulate good practice.

(12)

The Daphne II programme can bring added value by identifying and stimulating good practice, by encouraging innovation and by exchanging relevant experience of actions undertaken in the Member States, including an exchange of information relating to the various laws, sanctions and the results achieved. In order to achieve the objectives of this programme and use the resources available in the most efficient way, the areas in which work is to be done must be carefully chosen by selecting projects which offer a greater Community added value and show the way towards trying out and disseminating innovative ideas to prevent and combat violence, in the context of a multidisciplinary approach.

(13)

Since the objectives of the proposed action, namely to prevent and combat all forms of violence against children, young people and women cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, due to the need for a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach favouring the setting up of transnational frameworks for training, information, study and exchange of good practice, and the selection of Community-wide projects, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

(14)

The Daphne II programme should be of a five-year duration in order to allow sufficient time for actions to be implemented to achieve the objectives set and for lessons and experience to be collated and integrated in good practice across the European Union.

(15)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (9).

(16)

This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial framework constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 33 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (10), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure,

ANNEX

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND ACTIONS

I.   TRANSNATIONAL ACTIONS

1.   IDENTIFICATION AND EXCHANGE OF GOOD PRACTICE AND WORK EXPERIENCE

Objective:

to support and encourage the exchange, adaptation and use of good practice for application in other contexts or geographical areas

To stimulate and promote the exchange of good practice at Community level on protection of and support for children, young people and women — victims or groups at risk — with special emphasis on the following areas:

(a)

prevention (general or targeting specific groups);

(b)

protection and support to victims (psychological, medical, social, educational and legal assistance, the provision of accommodation, removing and protecting victims, training and reintegration into social and working life);

(c)

procedures to protect the best interests of children, particularly those who are victims of prostitution, young people and women who are the victims of violence;

(d)

measurement of the real impact of the different types of violence on victims and society within Europe, in order to establish an appropriate response.

2.   MAPPING SURVEYS, STUDIES AND RESEARCH

Objective: to study phenomena related to violence

To support research activities, gender- and age-based studies and mapping surveys in the field of violence in order, inter alia:

(a)

to explore and assess the various causes, circumstances and mechanisms of the emergence and growth of violence, including coercion to carry out actions such as begging or theft;

(b)

to analyse and compare existing prevention and protection models;

(c)

to develop prevention and protection practice;

(d)

to assess the impact of violence, also in terms of health, both on victims and on society as a whole, including the economic costs;

(e)

to study the scope for developing filters which prevent the forwarding of paedophile material via the Internet;

(f)

to undertake studies on children who are the victims of prostitution in order to help prevent this phenomenon by means of better knowledge about the risk factors.

3.   FIELD WORK WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE BENEFICIAIRIES

Objective: actively to implement proven methods in the prevention of and protection from violence

To support the implementation of methods, training modules and assistance (psychological, medical, social, educational, legal, and to reintegration) directly involving the beneficiaries.

4.   CREATION OF SUSTAINABLE MULTIDISCIPLINARY NETWORKS

Objective:

to support and encourage both non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other organisations, including local authorities (at the competent level), active in the fight against violence to work together.

To support the establishment and strengthening of multidisciplinary networks and to encourage and support cooperation between NGOs and the various organisations and public bodies, in order to improve the level of knowledge and understanding of one another's roles and to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary support to victims of violence and to those at risk.

The networks will in particular carry out activities to address the problems of violence, geared to:

(a)

producing a common framework for the analysis of violence, including the definition of different types of violence, the causes of violence and all its consequences, and for the implementation of appropriate multi-sector responses;

(b)

assessing the types and effectiveness of measures and practices for the prevention and detection of violence, and for the provision of support for victims of violence, in particular to ensure that they are never again exposed to violence;

(c)

promoting activities to tackle this problem at both international and national level.

5.   TRAINING AND DESIGN OF EDUCATIONAL PACKAGES

Objective: to develop educational packages on the prevention of violence and on positive treatment

To design and test educational packages and actions on the prevention of violence against children, young people and women and on positive treatment, as well as on conflict management, for use in schools and adult educational institutions, associations, undertakings, public institutions and NGOs.

6.   DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TREATMENT PROGRAMMES

Objective:

to develop and implement treatment programmes for victims and people at risk, such as children and young people who witness domestic violence, on the one hand, and perpetrators on the other hand, with the aim of preventing violence.

To detect the possible causes, circumstances and mechanisms of the emergence and growth of violence including the nature and motivation of perpetrators of violence and exploiters of commercial violence such as sexual or non-sexual exploitation.

To develop, test and implement treatment programmes based on the above findings.

7.   AWARENESS-RAISING ACTIONS TARGETING SPECIFIC AUDIENCES

Objective:

to raise awareness and the level of understanding of violence and the prevention of violence against children, young people and women with the aim of promoting zero tolerance of violence, the provision of support to victims and groups at risk, and the reporting of incidences of violence

The following types of actions, amongst others, are eligible for support:

(a)

development and implementation of information and awareness-raising actions aimed at children, young people and women, in particular on the potential risks of violence and ways of avoiding them; other publics to be targeted could also include specific professions such as teachers, educators, medical doctors, youth or social workers, lawyers, police authorities and the media;

(b)

development of Community-wide information sources to assist and inform NGOs and public bodies about publicly available information relevant to the field of violence, the means of preventing it and the rehabilitation of victims, compiled by governmental, non-governmental, academic and other sources; this should enable information to be integrated into all the relevant information systems;

(c)

encouragement of the introduction of measures and specific services to increase reporting to the authorities of violence and different forms of trade in children, young people and women for sexual and non-sexual exploitation;

(d)

promotion of publicity campaigns, using mass means of communication, focusing on the condemnation of violence and the provision of support for victims in the form of psychological, moral and practical assistance.

The design of materials to supplement those already available, or to adapt them for use in other geographical areas or for other target groups will be encouraged.

II.   COMPLEMENTARY ACTIONS

In order to ensure that all areas of the programme are fully covered, even in the absence of proposals — or of suitable proposals — for a given area, the Commission will carry out more proactive activities to fill any gaps.

Consequently, the programme will finance complementary actions, on the Commission's initiative, in the following areas, inter alia:

(a)

to enable the development of indicators on violence, so that the quantified impact of policies and projects can be measured. This must be based on existing experience of all forms of violence against children, young people and women;

(b)

to set up a procedure for regular and sustainable data collection, preferably with the assistance of EUROSTAT, in order to be able to quantify violence in the Union more accurately;

(c)

to identify policy issues, wherever possible, in the light of the work achieved by funded projects, with the aim of suggesting common policies on violence at Community level and reinforcing judicial practice;

(d)

to analyse and evaluate the funded projects in order to prepare for a European Year against violence;

(e)

to disseminate on a Europe-wide scale good practices stemming from funded projects; this can be achieved by various means:

(i)

producing and distributing written material, CD-ROMs, video films, setting up Internet sites and promoting campaigns and publicity spots;

(ii)

seconding of or organising exchanges of experienced staff from one organisation to another in order to assist with the implementation of new solutions or practices that have proven to be effective elsewhere;

(iii)

enabling a single NGO to use results obtained under the two Daphne programmes, to adapt them or to transfer them to another Union area or another category of beneficiary;

(iv)

establishing a help-desk to assist NGOs, especially those participating for the first time, to elaborate their projects, to liaise with other partners and to use and benefit from the Daphne acquis;

(v)

cooperating as closely as possible with mass media.

(f)

to organise seminars for all stakeholders involved in funded projects in order to improve management and networking capability and to support information exchange;

(g)

to conduct studies and organise meetings of experts and seminars directly connected with the carrying out of the action of which they form an integral part.

In addition, the Commission may have recourse, in carrying out the programme, to technical assistance organisations, the financing of which will be provided for within the overall financial framework and, under the same conditions, to experts.

Official feed and food controls ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council Regulation on official feed and food controls (COM(2003) 52 — C5-0032/2003 — 2003/0030(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2003) 52) (1),

having regard to Articles 251(2), 37, 95 and 152(4)(b) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C5-0032/2003),

having regard to Rule 67 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and the opinion of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (A5-0449/2003),

1.

Approves the Commission proposal as amended;

2.

Calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend the proposal substantially or replace it with another text;

3.

Instructs its President to forward its position to the Council and Commission.


(1)  Not yet published in OJ.

P5_TC1-COD(2003)0030

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 9 March 2004 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37, 95 and 152(4)(b) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

(1)

Feed and food should be safe and wholesome. Community legislation comprises a set of rules to ensure that this objective is attained. These rules extend to the production and the placing on the market of both feed and food.

(2)

The basic rules with regard to feed and food law are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority, and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (4).

(3)

In addition to those basic rules, more specific feed and food law covers different areas such as animal nutrition including medicated feedingstuffs, feed and food hygiene, zoonoses, animal by-products, residues and contaminants, control and eradication of animal diseases with a public health impact, feed and food labelling, pesticides, feed and food additives, vitamins, mineral salts, trace elements and other additives, materials in contact with food, quality and compositional requirements, drinking water, ionisation, novel foods and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

(4)

Community feed and food law is based on the principle that feed and food business operators at all stages of production, processing and distribution within the businesses under their control are responsible for ensuring that feed and food satisfy the requirements of feed and food law which are relevant to their activities.

(5)

Animal health and animal welfare are important factors that contribute to the quality and safety of food, to the prevention of the spreading of animal diseases and to a humane treatment of animals. The rules covering these matters are laid down in several acts. These acts specify the obligations of natural and legal persons with regard to animal health and animal welfare as well as the duties of the competent authorities.

(6)

The Member States should enforce feed and food law, animal heath and animal welfare rules and monitor and verify that the relevant requirements thereof are fulfilled by business operators at all stages of production, processing and distribution. Official controls should be organised for that purpose.

(7)

It is therefore appropriate to establish at Community level a harmonised framework of general rules for the organisation of such controls. It is appropriate to assess in the light of experience whether such a general framework functions properly, in particular in the area of animal health and welfare. It is therefore appropriate for the Commission to present a report together with any necessary proposal.

(8)

As a general rule this Community framework should not include official controls with regard to organisms harmful to plants and plant products since these controls are already adequately covered by Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (5). Certain aspects of this Regulation should however also apply to the plant health sector and in particular those concerning the establishment of multi-annual national control plans and Community inspections within the Member States and in third countries. It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 2000/29/EC accordingly.

(9)

Council Regulations (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (6), (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (7), and (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (8) contain specific measures for the verification of compliance with the requirements contained therein. The requirements of this Regulation should be flexible enough so as to take account of the specificity of these areas.

(10)

For the verification of compliance with the rules on the common organisation of the markets of agricultural products (arable crops, wine, olive oil, fruit and vegetables, hops, milk and milk products, beef and veal, sheepmeat and goatmeat and honey) a well established and specific control system is already in place. This Regulation should therefore not apply to these areas, all the more since the objectives of this Regulation differ from the objectives pursued by the control mechanisms for the common organisation of the markets of agricultural products.

(11)

The competent authorities for performing official controls should meet a number of operational criteria so as to ensure their impartiality and effectiveness. They should have a sufficient number of suitably qualified and experienced staff and possess adequate facilities and equipment to carry out their duties properly.

(12)

The official controls should be carried out using appropriate techniques developed for that purpose, including routine surveillance checks and more intensive controls such as inspections, verifications, audits, sampling and the testing of samples. The correct implementation of those techniques requires appropriate training of the staff performing official controls. Training is also required in order to ensure that the competent authorities take decisions in a uniform way, in particular with regard to the implementation of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles.

(13)

The frequency of official controls should be regular and proportionate to the risk, taking into account the results of the checks carried out by feed and food business operators under HACCP based control programmes or Quality Assurance Programmes, where such programmes are designed to meet requirements of feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules. Ad hoc controls should be carried out in case of suspicion of non-compliance. Additionally ad hoc controls could be carried out at any time, even where there is no suspicion of non-compliance.

(14)

Official controls should take place on the basis of documented procedures so as to ensure that these controls are carried out uniformly and are of a consistently high quality.

(15)

The competent authorities should ensure that where different control units are involved in carrying out official controls, appropriate coordination procedures are in place and effectively implemented.

(16)

The competent authorities should also ensure that, where the competence to carry out official controls has been delegated from the central level to a regional or local level, there is effective and efficient coordination between the central level and that regional or local level.

(17)

Laboratories involved in the analysis of official samples should work in accordance with internationally approved procedures or criteria based performance standards and use methods of analysis that have as far as possible been validated. Such laboratories should in particular have equipment that enables the correct determination of standards such as maximum residue levels fixed by Community law.

(18)

The designation of Community and national reference laboratories should contribute to a high quality and uniformity of analytical results. This objective can be achieved by activities such as the application of validated analytical methods, ensuring that reference materials are available, the organisation of comparative testing and the training of staff from laboratories.

(19)

The activities of reference laboratories should cover all the areas of feed and food law and animal health, in particular those areas where there is a need for precise analytical and diagnostic results.

(20)

For a number of activities related to official controls, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) has developed European Standards (EN Standards) appropriate for the purpose of this Regulation. These EN Standards relate in particular to the operation and assessment of testing laboratories and to the operation and accreditation of control bodies. International standards have also been drawn up by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). These standards might, in certain well defined cases, be appropriate for the purposes of this Regulation, taking into account that performance criteria are laid down in feed and food law in order to ensure flexibility and cost effectiveness.

(21)

Provision should be made for delegating competence for performing specific control tasks from the competent authority to a control body, and for the conditions under which such delegation can take place.

(22)

Appropriate procedures should be available for the cooperation of the competent authorities in and between the Member States, in particular when official controls reveal that feed and food problems extend to more than one Member State. In order to facilitate such cooperation, Member States should designate one or more liaison bodies with the role of coordinating the transmission and reception of requests for assistance.

(23)

In accordance with Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the Member States shall inform the Commission where information relating to the existence of a serious direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed is available.

(24)

It is important to create uniform procedures for the control of feed and food from third countries introduced into the territory of the Community, taking into account that harmonised import procedures have already been established for food of animal origin by virtue of Council Directive 97/78/EC (9), and for live animals by virtue of Council Directive 91/496/EEC (10). These existing procedures function properly and should be maintained.

(25)

The checks on feed and food from third countries referred to in Directive 97/78/EC are limited to veterinary aspects. It is necessary to supplement these checks with official controls on aspects that are not covered by veterinary checks, such as those on additives, labelling, traceability, irradiation of food and materials in contact with food.

(26)

Community legislation also provides for procedures for the control of imported feed by virtue of Council Directive 95/53/EC of 25 October 1995 fixing the principles governing the organisation of official inspections in the field of animal nutrition (11). That Directive contains principles and procedures that must be applied by the Member States when releasing imported feed for free circulation.

(27)

It is appropriate to establish Community rules in order to ensure that feed and food from third countries is submitted to official controls before release for free circulation in the Community. Special attention should be paid to import controls of feed and food for which there may be an increased risk of contamination.

(28)

Provision should also be made for the organisation of official controls of feed and food that is introduced into the territory of the Community under customs procedures other than free circulation, and in particular those introduced under the customs procedures referred to in points (b) to (f) of Article 4(16) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (12), as well as their entry into a free zone or free warehouse. This includes the introduction of feed and food from third countries by passengers of international means of transport and through parcels sent by mail.

(29)

For the purpose of official controls on feed and food, it is necessary to define the territory of the Community in which the rules apply in order to ensure that feed and food that is introduced into this territory is submitted to the controls laid down by this Regulation. This territory is not necessarily the same as provided for in Article 299 of the Treaty, or as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.

(30)

In order to ensure a more efficient organisation of the official controls on feed and food from third countries and in order to facilitate commercial flows, it may be necessary to designate specific points of entry for feed and food from third countries into the territory of the Community. Likewise, it may be necessary to require prior notification of the arrival of goods at the territory of the Community. It should be ensured that each designated point of entry has access to the appropriate facilities to operate controls within reasonable time limits.

(31)

In establishing rules on the official controls of feed and food from third countries, it should be ensured that the competent authorities and the customs services work together, taking into account the fact that rules to that effect already exist in Council Regulation (EEC) No 339/93 of 8 February 1993 on checks for conformity with the rules on product safety in the case of products imported from third countries (13).

(32)

Adequate financial resources should be available for organising official controls. Hence, the competent authorities of the Member States should be able to levy the fees or charges to cover the costs incurred through official controls. In the process, the competent authorities of the Member States will be at liberty to establish the fees and charges as flat-rate amounts based on the costs incurred and taking the specific situation of the establishments into account. Where fees are imposed on operators, common principles should apply. It is appropriate therefore to lay down the criteria for setting the level of inspection fees. With regard to fees applicable for import controls, it is appropriate to establish directly the rates for main import items with a view to ensuring their uniform application and to avoiding trade distortions.

(33)

Community feed and food law provides for the registration or approval of certain feed and food businesses by the competent authority. This is particularly the case in Regulation (EC) No .../... of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... on the hygiene of foodstuffs (14), Regulation (EC) No .../... of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (14), Council Directive 95/69/EC of 22 December 1995 laying down the conditions and arrangements for approving and registering certain establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feed sector (15) and the future Regulation on feed hygiene. Procedures should be put in place in order to ensure that registration and approval of feed and food businesses are carried out in an effective and transparent way.

(34)

In order to have a global and uniform approach with regard to official controls, Member States should establish and implement multi-annual national control plans in accordance with broad guidelines drawn up at Community level. These guidelines should promote coherent national strategies, and identify risk-based priorities and the most effective control procedures. A Community strategy should take a comprehensive, integrated approach to the operation of controls. In view of the nonbinding character of certain technical guidelines to be established it is appropriate to establish them by means of a consultative Committee procedure.

(35)

The multi-annual national control plans should cover feed and food law, and the legislation on animal health and animal welfare.

(36)

The multi-annual national control plans should establish a solid basis for the Commission inspection services to carry out controls in the Member States. The control plans should enable the Commission inspection services to verify whether the official controls in the Member States are organised in accordance with the criteria laid down in this Regulation. Where appropriate and, in particular, where the audit of the Member States against the multi-annual national control plans shows weaknesses or failures, detailed inspections and audits should be carried out.

(37)

Member States should be required to present an annual report to the Commission with information on the implementation of the multi-annual national control plans. This report should provide the results of the official controls and audits carried out during the previous year and, where necessary, an update of the initial control plan in response to these results.

(38)

Community controls in the Member States should allow the Commission control services to verify whether feed and food law and the legislation on animal health and animal welfare are implemented in a uniform and correct way throughout the Community.

(39)

Community controls in third countries are required in order to verify compliance or equivalence with Community feed and food law as well as with the legislation on animal health and, where appropriate, welfare. Third countries may also be requested to provide information on their control systems. This information, which should be established on the basis of Community guidelines, should form the basis for subsequent Commission controls, which should be carried out within a multidisciplinary framework covering the main sectors exporting to the Community. This evolution should allow a simplification of the current regime, enhance effective control cooperation, and consequently facilitate trade flows.

(40)

In order to ensure that imported goods comply with or are equivalent to Community feed and food law, it is necessary to establish procedures that allow the definition of import conditions and certification requirements as appropriate.

(41)

Breaches of feed and food law and of animal health and animal welfare rules may constitute a threat to human health, animal health, and animal welfare. Such breaches should therefore be subject to effective, dissuasive and proportionate measures at national level throughout the Community.

(42)

Such measures should include administrative action by the competent authorities in the Member States who should have procedures in place for that purpose. The advantage of such procedures is that quick action can be undertaken in order to restore the situation.

(43)

Operators should have a right to appeal against the decisions taken by the competent authority as a result of the official controls, and be informed of such a right.

(44)

It is appropriate to take account of the special needs of developing countries, and in particular of the least-developed countries, and to introduce measures to that effect. The Commission should be committed to support developing countries with regard to feed and food safety, which is an important element of human health and trade development. Such support should be organised in the context of the Community's Development Cooperation Policy.

(45)

The rules contained in this Regulation underpin the integrated and horizontal approach necessary to implement a coherent control policy on feed and food safety, animal health and animal welfare. There should be room however to develop specific control rules where required, for example with regard to the setting of maximum residue levels for certain contaminants at EC level. Likewise, more specific rules existing in the area of feed and food and animal health and animal welfare controls should be kept in place. These include in particular the following acts: Directive 96/22/EC (16), Directive 96/23/EC (17), Regulation (EC) No .../... (18), Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 (19), Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 (20), Directive 86/362/EEC (21), Directive 90/642/EEC (22) and the implementing rules resulting therefrom, Directive 92/1/EEC (23), Directive 92/2/EEC (24), and acts on the control of animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, swine fever etc., as well as requirements on the official controls on the welfare of animals.

(46)

This Regulation covers areas that are already covered in certain acts in force at present. It is appropriate therefore to repeal in particular the following acts on feed and food controls and to replace them by the rules of this Regulation: Council Directive 70/373/EEC (25); Council Directive 85/591/EEC (26); Council Directive 89/397/EEC (27); Council Directive 93/99/EEC (28); Council Decision 93/383/EEC (29); Council Directive 95/53/EC; Council Directive 96/43/EC (30); Council Decision 98/728/EC (31); and Council Decision 1999/313/EC (32).

(47)

In the light of this Regulation, Directive 96/23/EC, Directive 97/78/EC and Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended.

(48)

Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to ensure a harmonised approach with regard to official controls, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of its complexity, its transborder character and, with regard to feed and food imports, its international character, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(49)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (33),

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

order that such feed or food be destroyed, subjected to a special treatment in accordance with Article 20 or re-dispatched outside the Community in accordance with Article 21; other appropriate measures such as the use of feed or food for purposes other than those for which they were originally intended may also be taken.

(b)

if the feed or food has already been placed on the market, monitor or, if necessary, order its recall or withdrawal before taking one of the measures referred to above;

(c)

verify that feed and food does not give rise to any adverse effects on human or animal health, either directly or through the environment, during or pending the implementation of any of the measures referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b).

2.   If, however:

(a)

the official controls provided for in Articles 14 and 15 indicate that a consignment is injurious to human or animal health or unsafe, the competent authority shall place the consignment in question under official detention pending its destruction or any other appropriate measure necessary to protect human and animal health;

(b)

feed or food of non-animal origin for which an increased level of controls has been laid down in accordance with Article 15(5) is not presented for official controls, or is not presented in accordance with any specific requirements established in accordance with Article 17, the competent authority shall order that it be recalled and placed under official detention without delay and that it be then either destroyed or re-dispatched in accordance with Article 21.

3.   When it does not permit the introduction of feed or food, the competent authority shall notify the Commission and other Member States of its findings and of the identification of the products concerned in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and shall notify its decisions to the customs services, together with information as regards the final destination of the consignment.

6.   The competent authority or control body of the third country shall ensure the official certification of each consignment checked prior to its entry into one of the territories referred to in Annex I. The approval referred to in paragraph 1 shall specify a model for such certificates.

7.   Without prejudice to Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, when official controls on imports subject to the procedure referred to in paragraph 2 reveal significant non-compliance, Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and other Member States and the operators concerned in accordance with the procedure provided for in Title IV of this Regulation; Member States shall increase the number of consignments checked and, where necessary to allow a proper analytical examination of the situation, keep an appropriate number of samples under appropriate storage conditions.

8.   If it is found that, in a significant number of consignments, the goods do not correspond to the information in the certificates that the competent authority or control body of the third country has issued, the reduced frequency referred to in paragraph 2 shall no longer apply.

Article 24

Competent authorities and customs services

1.   For the organisation of the official controls referred to in this Chapter, the competent authorities and the customs services shall cooperate closely.

2.   With regard to consignments of feed and food of animal origin and of feed and food referred to in Article 15(5), customs services shall not allow their entry or handling in free zones or free warehouses without the agreement of the competent authority.

3.   Where samples are taken, the competent authority shall inform the customs services and the operators concerned and indicate whether or not the goods can be released before the results of the analysis of the samples are available, provided the traceability of the consignment is ensured.

4.   In the case of release for free circulation, competent authorities and customs services shall work together in accordance with the requirements laid down in Articles 2 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 339/93.

Article 25

FINANCING OF OFFICIAL CONTROLS

Article 26

General principle

Member States shall ensure that adequate financial resources are available to provide the necessary staff and other resources for official controls by whatever means considered appropriate, including through general taxation or by establishing fees or charges.

Article 27

Fees or charges

1.   Member States may collect fees or charges to cover the costs occasioned by official controls.

2.   However, as regards the activities referred to in Annex IV, section A, and Annex V, section A, Member States shall ensure the collection of a fee.

3.   Without prejudice to paragraphs 4 and 6, fees collected as regards the specific activities mentioned in Annex IV, section A and Annex V, section A shall not be lower than the minimum rates specified in Annex IV, section B and Annex V, section B. However, for a transitional period until 1 January 2008, as regards the activities referred to in Annex IV, section A, Member States may continue to use the rates currently applied pursuant to Directive 85/73/EEC.

The rates in Annex IV, Section B and Annex V, Section B shall be updated at least every two years, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 62(3), in particular to take account of inflation.

4.   Fees collected for the purposes of official controls in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2:

(a)

shall not be higher than the costs borne by the responsible competent authorities in relation to the items listed in Annex VI; and

(b)

may be fixed at a flat-rate on the basis of the costs borne by the competent authorities over a given period of time or, where applicable, at the amounts fixed in Annex IV, section B or in Annex V, section B.

5.   In setting the fees Member States shall take into consideration:

(a)

the type of business concerned and relevant risk factors;

(b)

the interests of businesses with a low throughput;

(c)

traditional methods used for production, processing and distribution;

(d)

the needs of businesses located in regions subject to particular geographical constraints.

6.   When, in view of own-check and tracing systems implemented by the feed or food business as well as of the level of compliance found during official controls, for a certain type of feed or food or activities, official controls are carried out with a reduced frequency or to take account of the criteria referred to in paragraph 5(b) to (d), Member States may set the official control fee below the minimum rates referred to in paragraph 4(b), provided that the Member State concerned provides the Commission with a report specifying:

(a)

the type of feed or food or activity concerned;

(b)

the controls performed in the feed and food business concerned; and

(c)

the method for calculating the reduction of the fee.

7.   When the competent authority carries out several official controls at the same time in a single establishment, it shall consider these controls as a single activity and charge a single fee.

8.   Fees relating to import controls are to be paid by the operator or his representative to the competent authority in charge of import controls.

9.   Fees shall not directly or indirectly be refunded, unless unduly collected.

10.   Without prejudice to the costs deriving from the expenses referred to in Article 28, Member States shall not collect any fees other than those referred to in this Article for the implementation of this Regulation.

11.   Operators or other relevant businesses or their representatives shall receive proof of their payment of fees.

12.   The Member States shall make public the method of calculation of fees and communicate it to the Commission. The Commission shall examine whether the fees comply with the requirements of this Regulation.

Article 28

Expenses arising from additional official controls

When the detection of non-compliance leads to official controls that exceed the competent authority's normal control activities, the competent authority shall charge the operators responsible for the non-compliance, or may charge the operator owning or keeping the goods at the time when the additional official controls are carried out, for the expenses arising from the additional official controls. Normal control activities are the routine control activities required under Community or national law and, in particular, those described in the plan provided for in Article 41. Activities that exceed normal control activities include the taking and analysis of samples as well as other controls that are required to check the extent of a problem, to verify whether corrective action has been taken, or to detect and/or substantiate noncompliance.

Article 29

Level of expenses

When setting the level of expenses referred to in Article 28, account shall be taken of the principles laid down in Article 27.

CHAPTER VII:

(1)

The achievement of the Internal Market entails eliminating restrictions on freedom of movement and distortions of competition, while creating an environment conducive to innovation and investment. In this context, the protection of intellectual property is an essential element for the success of the Internal Market. The protection of intellectual property is important not only for promoting innovation and creativity, but also for developing employment and improving competitiveness.

(2)

The protection of intellectual property should allow the inventor or creator to derive a legitimate profit from his invention or creation. It should also allow the widest possible dissemination of works, ideas and new know-how. At the same time, it should not hamper freedom of expression, the free movement of information, or the protection of personal data, including on the Internet.

(3)

However, without effective means of enforcing intellectual property rights, innovation and creativity are discouraged and investment diminished. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the substantive law on intellectual property, which is nowadays largely part of the acquis communautaire, is applied effectively in the Community. In this respect, the means of enforcing intellectual property rights are of paramount importance for the success of the Internal Market.

(4)

At international level, all Member States, as well as the Community itself as regards matters within its competence, are bound by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (the ‘TRIPS Agreement‧), approved, as part of the multilateral negotiations of the Uruguay Round, by Council Decision 94/800/EC (3) and concluded in the framework of the World Trade Organisation.

(5)

The TRIPS Agreement contains, in particular, provisions on the means of enforcing intellectual property rights, which are common standards applicable at international level and implemented in all Member States. This Directive should not affect Member States' international obligations, including those under the TRIPS Agreement.

(6)

There are also international conventions to which all Member States are parties and which also contain provisions on the means of enforcing intellectual property rights. These include, in particular, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, and the Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organisations.

(7)

It emerges from the consultations held by the Commission on this question that, in the Member States, and despite the TRIPS Agreement, there are still major disparities as regards the means of enforcing intellectual property rights. For instance, the arrangements for applying provisional measures, which are used in particular to preserve evidence, the calculation of damages, or the arrangements for applying injunctions, vary widely from one Member State to another. In some Member States, there are no measures, procedures and remedies such as the right of information and the recall, at the infringer's expense, of the infringing goods placed on the market.

(8)

The disparities between the systems of the Member States as regards the means of enforcing intellectual property rights are prejudicial to the proper functioning of the Internal Market and make it impossible to ensure that intellectual property rights enjoy an equivalent level of protection throughout the Community. This situation does not promote free movement within the Internal Market or create an environment conducive to healthy competition.

(9)

The current disparities also lead to a weakening of the substantive law on intellectual property and to a fragmentation of the Internal Market in this field. This causes a loss of confidence in the Internal Market in business circles, with a consequent reduction in investment in innovation and creation. Infringements of intellectual property rights appear to be increasingly linked to organised crime. Increasing use of the Internet enables pirated products to be distributed instantly around the globe. Effective enforcement of the substantive law on intellectual property should be ensured by specific action at Community level. Approximation of the legislation of the Member States in this field is therefore an essential prerequisite for the proper functioning of the Internal Market.

(10)

The objective of this Directive is to approximate legislative systems so as to ensure a high, equivalent and homogeneous level of protection in the Internal Market.

(11)

This Directive does not aim to establish harmonised rules for judicial cooperation, jurisdiction, the recognition and enforcement of decisions in civil and commercial matters, or deal with applicable law. There are Community instruments which govern such matters in general terms and are, in principle, equally applicable to intellectual property.

(12)

This Directive should not affect the application of the rules of competition, and in particular Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty. The measures provided for in this Directive should not be used to restrict unduly competition in a manner contrary to the Treaty.

(13)

It is necessary to define the scope of this Directive as widely as possible in order to encompass all the intellectual property rights covered by Community provisions in this field and/or by the national law of the Member State concerned. Nevertheless, that requirement does not affect the possibility, on the part of those Member States which so wish, to extend, for internal purposes, the provisions of this Directive to include acts involving unfair competition, including parasitic copies, or similar activities.

(14)

The measures provided for in Articles 6(2), 8(1) and 9(2) need to be applied only in respect of acts carried out on a commercial scale. This is without prejudice to the possibility for Member States to apply those measures also in respect of other acts. Acts carried out on a commercial scale are those carried out for direct or indirect economic or commercial advantage; this would normally exclude acts carried out by end-consumers acting in good faith.

(15)

This Directive should not affect substantive law on intellectual property, Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (4), Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures (5) and Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (6).

(16)

The provisions of this Directive should be without prejudice to the particular provisions for the enforcement of rights and on exceptions in the domain of copyright and related rights set out in Community instruments and notably those found in Council Directive 91/250/EEC of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs (7) or in Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (8).

(17)

The measures, procedures and remedies provided for in this Directive should be determined in each case in such a manner as to take due account of the specific characteristics of that case, including the specific features of each intellectual property right and, where appropriate, the intentional or unintentional character of the infringement.

(18)

The persons entitled to request application of those measures, procedures and remedies should be not only the rightholders but also persons who have a direct interest and legal standing in so far as permitted by and in accordance with the applicable law, which may include professional organisations in charge of the management of those rights or for the defence of the collective and individual interests for which they are responsible.

(19)

Since copyright exists from the creation of a work and does not require formal registration, it is appropriate to adopt the rule laid down in Article 15 of the Berne Convention, which establishes the presumption whereby the author of a literary or artistic work is regarded as such if his name appears on the work. A similar presumption should be applied to the owners of related rights since it is often the holder of a related right, such as a phonogram producer, who will seek to defend rights and engage in fighting acts of piracy.

(20)

Given that evidence is an element of paramount importance for establishing the infringement of intellectual property rights, it is appropriate to ensure that effective means of presenting, obtaining and preserving evidence are available. The procedures should have regard to the rights of the defence and provide the necessary guarantees, including the protection of confidential information. For infringements committed on a commercial scale it is also important that the courts may order access, where appropriate, to banking, financial or commercial documents under the control of the alleged infringer.

(21)

Other measures designed to ensure a high level of protection exist in certain Member States and should be made available in all the Member States. This is the case with the right of information, which allows precise information to be obtained on the origin of the infringing goods or services, the distribution channels and the identity of any third parties involved in the infringement.

(22)

It is also essential to provide for provisional measures for the immediate termination of infringements, without awaiting a decision on the substance of the case, while observing the rights of the defence, ensuring the proportionality of the provisional measures as appropriate to the characteristics of the case in question and providing the guarantees needed to cover the costs and the injury caused to the defendant by an unjustified request. Such measures are particularly justified where any delay would cause irreparable harm to the holder of an intellectual property right.

(23)

Without prejudice to any other measures, procedures and remedies available, rightholders should have the possibility of applying for an injunction against an intermediary whose services are being used by a third party to infringe the rightholder's industrial property right. The conditions and procedures relating to such injunctions should be left to the national law of the Member States. As far as infringements of copyright and related rights are concerned, a comprehensive level of harmonisation is already provided for in Directive 2001/29/EC. Article 8(3) of Directive 2001/29/EC should therefore not be affected by this Directive.

(24)

Depending on the particular case, and if justified by the circumstances, the measures, procedures and remedies to be provided for should include prohibitory measures aimed at preventing further infringements of intellectual property rights. Moreover there should be corrective measures, where appropriate at the expense of the infringer, such as the recall and definitive removal from the channels of commerce, or destruction, of the infringing goods and, in appropriate cases, of the materials and implements principally used in the creation or manufacture of these goods. These corrective measures should take account of the interests of third parties including, in particular, consumers and private parties acting in good faith.

(25)

Where an infringement is committed unintentionally and without negligence and where the corrective measures or injunctions provided for by this Directive would be disproportionate, Member States should have the option of providing for the possibility, in appropriate cases, of pecuniary compensation being awarded to the injured party as an alternative measure. However, where the commercial use of counterfeit goods or the supply of services would constitute an infringement of law other than intellectual property law or would be likely to harm consumers, such use or supply should remain prohibited.

(26)

With a view to compensating for the prejudice suffered as a result of an infringement committed by an infringer who engaged in an activity in the knowledge, or with reasonable grounds for knowing, that it would give rise to such an infringement, the amount of damages awarded to the rightholder should take account of all appropriate aspects, such as loss of earnings incurred by the rightholder, or unfair profits made by the infringer and, where appropriate, any moral prejudice caused to the rightholder. As an alternative, for example where it would be difficult to determine the amount of the actual prejudice suffered, the amount of the damages might be derived from elements such as the royalties or fees which would have been due if the infringer had requested authorisation to use the intellectual property right in question. The aim is not to introduce an obligation to provide for punitive damages but to allow for compensation based on an objective criterion while taking account of the expenses incurred by the rightholder, such as the costs of identification and research.

(27)

To act as a supplementary deterrent to future infringers and to contribute to the awareness of the public at large, it is useful to publicise decisions in intellectual property infringement cases.

(28)

In addition to the civil and administrative measures, procedures and remedies provided for under this Directive, criminal sanctions also constitute, in appropriate cases, a means of ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

(29)

Industry should take an active part in the fight against piracy and counterfeiting. The development of codes of conduct in the circles directly affected is a supplementary means of bolstering the regulatory framework. The Member States, in collaboration with the Commission, should encourage the development of codes of conduct in general. Monitoring of the manufacture of optical discs, particularly by means of an identification code embedded in discs produced in the Community, helps to limit infringements of intellectual property rights in this sector, which suffers from piracy on a large scale. However, these technical protection measures should not be misused to protect markets and prevent parallel imports.

(30)

In order to facilitate the uniform application of this Directive, it is appropriate to provide for systems of cooperation and the exchange of information between Member States, on the one hand, and between the Member States and the Commission on the other, in particular by creating a network of correspondents designated by the Member States and by providing regular reports assessing the application of this Directive and the effectiveness of the measures taken by the various national bodies.

(31)

Since, for the reasons already described, the objective of this Directive can best be achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(32)

This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Directive seeks to ensure full respect for intellectual property, in accordance with Article 17(2) of that Charter,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

CHAPTER II

Measures, procedures and remedies

Section 1

General provisions

Article 3

General obligation

1.   Member States shall provide for the measures, procedures and remedies necessary to ensure the enforcement of the intellectual property rights covered by this Directive. Those measures, procedures and remedies shall be fair and equitable and shall not be unnecessarily complicated or costly, or entail unreasonable time-limits or unwarranted delays.

2.   Those measures, procedures and remedies shall also be effective, proportionate and dissuasive and shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of barriers to legitimate trade and to provide for safeguards against their abuse.

Article 4

Persons entitled to apply for the application of the measures, procedures and remedies

Member States shall recognise as persons entitled to seek application of the measures, procedures and remedies referred to in this Chapter:

(a)

the holders of intellectual property rights, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law,

(b)

all other persons authorised to use those rights, in particular licensees, in so far as permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law,

(b)

the provision under (a) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the holders of rights related to copyright with regard to their protected subject matter.

Section 2

Evidence

Article 6

Evidence

1.   Member States shall ensure that, on application by a party which has presented reasonably available evidence sufficient to support its claims, and has, in substantiating those claims, specified evidence which lies in the control of the opposing party, the competent judicial authorities may order that such evidence be presented by the opposing party, subject to the protection of confidential information. For the purposes of this paragraph, Member States may provide that a reasonable sample of a substantial number of copies of a work or any other protected object be considered by the competent judicial authorities to constitute reasonable evidence.

2.   Under the same conditions, in the case of an infringement committed on a commercial scale Member States shall take such measures as are necessary to enable the competent judicial authorities to order, where appropriate, on application by a party, the communication of banking, financial or commercial documents under the control of the opposing party, subject to the protection of confidential information.

Article 7

Measures for preserving evidence

1.   Member States shall ensure that, even before the commencement of proceedings on the merits of the case, the competent judicial authorities may, on application by a party who has presented reasonably available evidence to support his claims that his intellectual property right has been infringed or is about to be infringed, order prompt and effective provisional measures to preserve relevant evidence in respect of the alleged infringement, subject to the protection of confidential information. Such measures may include the detailed description, with or without the taking of samples, or the physical seizure of the infringing goods, and, in appropriate cases, the materials and implements used in the production and/or distribution of these goods and the documents relating thereto. Those measures shall be taken, if necessary without the other party having been heard, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the rightholder or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed.

Where measures to preserve evidence are adopted without the other party having been heard, the parties affected shall be given notice, without delay after the execution of the measures at the latest. A review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the parties affected with a view to deciding, within a reasonable period after the notification of the measures, whether the measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed.

2.   Member States shall ensure that the measures to preserve evidence may be subject to the lodging by the applicant of adequate security or an equivalent assurance intended to ensure compensation for any prejudice suffered by the defendant as provided for in paragraph 4.

3.   Member States shall ensure that the measures to preserve evidence are revoked or otherwise cease to have effect, upon request of the defendant, without prejudice to the damages which may be claimed, if the applicant does not institute, within a reasonable period, proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case before the competent judicial authority, the period to be determined by the judicial authority ordering the measures where the law of a Member State so permits or, in the absence of such determination, within a period not exceeding 20 working days or 31 calendar days, whichever is the longer.

4.   Where the measures to preserve evidence are revoked, or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement or threat of infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by those measures.

5.   Member States may take measures to protect witnesses' identity.

Section 3

Right of information

Article 8

Right of information

1.   Member States shall ensure that, in the context of proceedings concerning an infringement of an intellectual property right and in response to a justified and proportionate request of the claimant, the competent judicial authorities may order that information on the origin and distribution networks of the goods or services which infringe an intellectual property right be provided by the infringer and/or any other person who:

(a)

was found in possession of the infringing goods on a commercial scale;

(b)

was found to be using the infringing services on a commercial scale;

(c)

was found to be providing on a commercial scale services used in infringing activities; or

(d)

was indicated by the person referred to in point (a), (b) or (c) as being involved in the production, manufacture or distribution of the goods or the provision of the services.

2.   The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall, as appropriate, comprise:

(a)

the names and addresses of the producers, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and other previous holders of the goods or services, as well as the intended wholesalers and retailers;

(b)

information on the quantities produced, manufactured, delivered, received or ordered, as well as the price obtained for the goods or services in question.

3.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply without prejudice to other statutory provisions which:

(a)

grant the rightholder rights to receive fuller information;

(b)

govern the use in civil or criminal proceedings of the information communicated pursuant to this Article;

(c)

govern responsibility for misuse of the right of information; or

(d)

afford an opportunity for refusing to provide information which would force the person referred to in paragraph 1 to admit to his own participation or that of his close relatives in an infringement of an intellectual property right; or

(e)

govern the protection of confidentiality of information sources or the processing of personal data.

Section 4

Provisional and precautionary measures

Article 9

Provisional and precautionary measures

1.   Member States shall ensure that the judicial authorities may, at the request of the applicant:

(a)

issue against the alleged infringer an interlocutory injunction intended to prevent any imminent infringement of an intellectual property right, or to forbid, on a provisional basis and subject, where appropriate, to a recurring penalty payment where provided for by national law, the continuation of the alleged infringements of that right, or to make such continuation subject to the lodging of guarantees intended to ensure the compensation of the rightholder; an interlocutory injunction may also be issued, under the same conditions, against an intermediary whose services are being used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right; injunctions against intermediaries whose services are used by a third party to infringe a copyright or a related right are covered by Directive 2001/29/EC;

(b)

order the seizure or delivery up of the goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right so as to prevent their entry into or movement within the channels of commerce.

2.   In the case of an infringement committed on a commercial scale, the Member States shall ensure that, if the injured party demonstrates circumstances likely to endanger the recovery of damages, the judicial authorities may order the precautionary seizure of the movable and immovable property of the alleged infringer, including the blocking of his bank accounts and other assets. To that end, the competent authorities may order the communication of bank, financial or commercial documents, or appropriate access to the relevant information.

3.   The judicial authorities shall, in respect of the measures referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, have the authority to require the applicant to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant is the rightholder and that the applicant's right is being infringed, or that such infringement is imminent.

4.   Member States shall ensure that the provisional measures referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may, in appropriate cases, be taken without the defendant having been heard, in particular where any delay would cause irreparable harm to the rightholder. In that event, the parties shall be so informed without delay after the execution of the measures at the latest.

A review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the defendant with a view to deciding, within a reasonable time after notification of the measures, whether those measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed.

5.   Member States shall ensure that the provisional measures referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are revoked or otherwise cease to have effect, upon request of the defendant, if the applicant does not institute, within a reasonable period, proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case before the competent judicial authority, the period to be determined by the judicial authority ordering the measures where the law of a Member State so permits or, in the absence of such determination, within a period not exceeding 20 working days or 31 calendar days, whichever is the longer.

6.   The competent judicial authorities may make the provisional measures referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 subject to the lodging by the applicant of adequate security or an equivalent assurance intended to ensure compensation for any prejudice suffered by the defendant as provided for in paragraph 7.

7.   Where the provisional measures are revoked or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement or threat of infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by those measures.

Section 5

Measures resulting from a decision on the merits of the case

Article 10

Corrective measures

1.   Without prejudice to any damages due to the rightholder by reason of the infringement, and without compensation of any sort, Member States shall ensure that the competent judicial authorities may order, at the request of the applicant, that appropriate measures be taken with regard to goods that they have found to be infringing an intellectual property right and, in appropriate cases, with regard to materials and implements principally used in the creation or manufacture of those goods. Such measures shall include:

(a)

recall from the channels of commerce,

(b)

definitive removal from the channels of commerce, or

(c)

destruction.

2.   The judicial authorities shall order that those measures be carried out at the expense of the infringer, unless particular reasons are invoked for not doing so.

3.   In considering a request for corrective measures, the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement and the remedies ordered as well as the interests of third parties shall be taken into account.

Article 11

Injunctions

Member States shall ensure that, where a judicial decision is taken finding an infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities may issue against the infringer an injunction aimed at prohibiting the continuation of the infringement. Where provided for by national law, non-compliance with an injunction shall, where appropriate, be subject to a recurring penalty payment, with a view to ensuring compliance. Member States shall also ensure that rightholders are in a position to apply for an injunction against intermediaries whose services are used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right, without prejudice to Article 8(3) of Directive 2001/29/EC.

Article 12

Alternative measures

Member States may provide that, in appropriate cases and at the request of the person liable to be subject to the measures provided for in this Section, the competent judicial authorities may order pecuniary compensation to be paid to the injured party instead of applying the measures provided for in this Section if that person acted unintentionally and without negligence, if execution of the measures in question would cause him disproportionate harm and if pecuniary compensation to the injured party appears reasonably satisfactory.

Section 6

Damages and legal costs

Article 13

Damages

1.   Member States shall ensure that the competent judicial authorities, on application of the injured party, order the infringer who knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in an infringing activity, to pay the rightholder damages appropriate to the actual prejudice suffered by him as a result of the infringement.

When the judicial authorities set the damages:

(a)

they shall take into account all appropriate aspects, such as the negative economic consequences, including lost profits, which the injured party has suffered, any unfair profits made by the infringer and, in appropriate cases, elements other than economic factors, such as the moral prejudice caused to the rightholder by the infringement;

or

(b)

as an alternative to (a), they may, in appropriate cases, set the damages as a lump sum on the basis of elements such as at least the amount of royalties or fees which would have been due if the infringer had requested authorisation to use the intellectual property right in question.

2.   Where the infringer did not knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engage in infringing activity, Member States may lay down that the judicial authorities may order the recovery of profits or the payment of damages, which may be pre-established.

Article 14

Legal costs

Member States shall ensure that reasonable and proportionate legal costs and other expenses incurred by the successful party shall, as a general rule, be borne by the unsuccessful party, unless equity does not allow this.

Section 7

Publicity measures

Article 15

Publication of judicial decisions

Member States shall ensure that, in legal proceedings instituted for infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities may order, at the request of the applicant and at the expense of the infringer, appropriate measures for the dissemination of the information concerning the decision, including displaying the decision and publishing it in full or in part. Member States may provide for other additional publicity measures which are appropriate to the particular circumstances, including prominent advertising.

CHAPTER III

Sanctions by Member States

Article 16

Sanctions by Member States

Without prejudice to the civil and administrative measures, procedures and remedies laid down by this Directive, Member States may apply other appropriate sanctions in cases where intellectual property rights have been infringed.

CHAPTER IV

Codes of conduct and administrative cooperation

Article 17

Codes of conduct

Member States shall encourage:

(a)

the development by trade or professional associations or organisations of codes of conduct at Community level aimed at contributing towards the enforcement of the intellectual property rights, particularly by recommending the use on optical discs of a code enabling the identification of the origin of their manufacture;

(b)

the submission to the Commission of draft codes of conduct at national and Community level and of any evaluations of the application of these codes of conduct.

Article 18

Assessment

1.   Three years after the date laid down in Article 20(1), each Member State shall submit to the Commission a report on the implementation of this Directive.

On the basis of those reports, the Commission shall draw up a report on the application of this Directive, including an assessment of the effectiveness of the measures taken, as well as an evaluation of its impact on innovation and the development of the information society. That report shall then be transmitted to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee. It shall be accompanied, if necessary and in the light of developments in the Community legal order, by proposals for amendments to this Directive.

2.   Member States shall provide the Commission with all the aid and assistance it may need when drawing up the report referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.

Article 19

Exchange of information and correspondents

For the purpose of promoting cooperation, including the exchange of information, among Member States and between Member States and the Commission, each Member State shall designate one or more national correspondents for any question relating to the implementation of the measures provided for by this Directive. It shall communicate the details of the national correspondent(s) to the other Member States and to the Commission.

Electromagnetic compatibility ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (COM(2002) 759 — C5-0634/2002 — 2002/0306(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2002) 759) (1),

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 9 March 2004 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/.../EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility and repealing Directive 89/336/EEC

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (4) has been the subject of a review under the initiative known as Simpler Legislation for the Internal Market (SLIM). Both the SLIM process and a subsequent in-depth consultation have revealed the need to complete, reinforce and clarify the framework established by Directive 89/336/EEC.

(2)

Member States are responsible for ensuring that radio-communications, including radio broadcast reception and the amateur radio service operating in accordance with International Telecommunication Union radio regulations, electrical supply and telecommunications networks, as well as equipment connected thereto, are protected against electromagnetic disturbance.

(3)

Provisions of national law ensuring protection against electromagnetic disturbance should be harmonised in order to guarantee the free movement of electrical and electronic apparatus without lowering justified levels of protection in the Member States.

(4)

Protection against electromagnetic disturbance requires obligations to be imposed on the various economic operators. Those obligations should be applied in a fair and effective way in order to achieve such protection.

(5)

The electromagnetic compatibility of equipment should be regulated with a view to ensuring the functioning of the internal market, that is to say, of an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is assured.

(6)

The equipment covered by this Directive should include both apparatus and fixed installations. However, separate provision should be made for each. This is so because, whereas apparatus as such is subject to free movement inside the Community, fixed installations on the other hand are installed for permanent use at a predefined location, as assemblies of various types of apparatus and where appropriate other devices. The composition and function of such installations correspond in most cases to the particular needs of their operators.

(7)

Radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment should not be covered by this Directive since they are already regulated by Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (5). The electromagnetic compatibility requirements in both Directives achieve the same level of protection.

(8)

Aircraft or equipment intended to be fitted into aircraft should not be covered by this Directive, since they are already subject to special Community or international rules governing electromagnetic compatibility.

(9)

This Directive need not regulate equipment which is inherently benign in terms of electromagnetic compatibility.

(10)

The safety of equipment should not be a matter covered by this Directive, since it is dealt with by separate Community or national legislation.

(11)

Where this Directive regulates apparatus, it should refer to finished apparatus commercially available for the first time on the Community market. Certain components or sub-assemblies should, under certain conditions, be considered to be apparatus if they are made available to the end-user .

(12)

The principles on which this Directive is based are those set out in the Council Resolution of 7 May 1985 on a new approach to technical harmonisation and standards (6). In accordance with that approach, the design and manufacture of equipment is subject to essential requirements in relation to electromagnetic compatibility. Those requirements are given technical expression by harmonised European standards, to be adopted by the various European standardisation bodies, CEN (European Committee for Standardisation), Cenelec (European Committee for Electro-technical Standardisation) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). CEN, Cenelec and ETSI are recognised as the competent institutions in the field of this Directive for the adoption of harmonised standards, which they draw up in accordance with the general guidelines for co-operation between themselves and the Commission, and with the procedure laid down in Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (7).

(13)

Harmonised standards reflect the generally acknowledged state of the art as regards electromagnetic compatibility matters in the European Union. It is thus in the interest of the functioning of the internal market to have standards for the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment which have been harmonised at Community level; once the reference to such a standard has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union , compliance with it should raise a presumption of conformity with the relevant essential requirements, although other means of demonstrating such conformity should be permitted. Compliance with a harmonised standard means conformity with its provisions and demonstration thereof by the methods the harmonised standard describes or refers to.

(14)

Manufacturers of equipment intended to be connected to networks should construct such equipment in a way that prevents networks from suffering unacceptable degradation of service when used under normal operating conditions. Network operators should construct their networks in such a way that manufacturers of equipment liable to be connected to networks do not suffer a disproportionate burden in order to prevent networks from suffering an unacceptable degradation of service. The European standardisation organisations should take due account of that objective (including the cumulative effects of the relevant types of electromagnetic phenomena) when developing harmonised standards.

(15)

It should be possible to place apparatus on the market or put it into service only if the manufacturers concerned have established that such apparatus has been designed and manufactured in conformity with the requirements of this Directive. Apparatus placed on the market should bear the CE marking attesting to compliance with the Directive. Although conformity assessment should be the responsibility of the manufacturer, without any need to involve an independent conformity assessment body, manufacturers should be free to use the services of such a body.

(16)

The conformity assessment obligation should require the manufacturer to perform an electromagnetic compatibility assessment of apparatus, based on relevant phenomena, in order to determine whether or not it meets the protection requirements under this Directive.

(17)

Where apparatus can take different configurations, the electromagnetic compatibility assessment should confirm that the apparatus meets the protection requirements in the configurations foreseeable by the manufacturer as representative of normal use in the intended applications; in such cases it should be sufficient to perform an assessment on the basis of the configuration most likely to cause maximum disturbance and the configuration most susceptible to disturbance.

(18)

Fixed installations, including large machines and networks, may generate electromagnetic disturbance, or be affected by it. There may be an interface between fixed installations and apparatus, and the electromagnetic disturbances produced by fixed installations may affect apparatus, and vice versa. In terms of electromagnetic compatibility, it is irrelevant whether the electromagnetic disturbance is produced by apparatus or by a fixed installation. Accordingly, fixed installations and apparatus should be subject to a coherent and comprehensive regime of essential requirements. It should be possible to use harmonised standards for fixed installations in order to demonstrate conformity with the essential requirements covered by such standards.

(19)

Due to their specific characteristics, fixed installations need not be subject to the affixation of the CE marking or to the declaration of conformity.

(20)

It is not pertinent to carry out the conformity assessment of apparatus placed on the market for incorporation into a given fixed installation, and otherwise not commercially available, in isolation from the fixed installation into which it is to be incorporated. Such apparatus should therefore be exempted from the conformity assessment procedures normally applicable to apparatus. However, such apparatus should not be permitted to compromise the conformity of the fixed installation into which it is incorporated. Should apparatus be incorporated into more than one identical fixed installation, identifying the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics of these installations should be sufficient to ensure exemption from the conformity assessment procedure.

(21)

A transitional period is necessary in order to ensure that manufacturers and other concerned parties are able to adapt to the new regulatory regime.

(22)

Directive 89/336/EEC should therefore be repealed.

(23)

Since the objectives of the proposed action, to ensure the functioning of the internal market by requiring equipment to comply with an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States acting alone and can therefore, by reason of their scale and effects, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

P5_TC1-COD(2003)0205

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 9 March 2004 with a view to the adoption of European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/.../EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (recast version)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (3),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (4),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Directive 88/77/EEC of 3 December 1987 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (5) is one of the separate Directives under the type-approval procedure laid down by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (6). Directive 88/77/EEC has been substantially amended several times to introduce successively more stringent pollutant emission limits. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

(2)

Council Directive 91/542/EEC of 1 October 1991 amending Directive 88/77/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous pollutants from diesel engines for use in vehicles (7), Directive 1999/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles and amending Council Directive 88/77/EEC (8), and Commission Directive 2001/27/EC of 10 April 2001 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 88/77/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (9) have introduced provisions which, while being autonomous, are closely linked to the scheme established under Directive 88/77/EEC. Those autonomous provisions should be fully integrated into the recast Directive in the interests of clarity and legal certainty.

(3)

It is necessary that all the Member States adopt the same requirements, in order, in particular, to permit the implementation, for each vehicle type, of the EC type-approval system which is the subject of Directive 70/156/EEC.

(4)

The Commission's programme on air quality, road transport emissions, fuels and emission abatement technologies (10), hereinafter ‘the first Auto-Oil programme‧, showed that further reductions in pollutant emissions from heavy-duty vehicles were necessary with a view to achieving future air quality standards.

(5)

Reductions in emission limits applicable from the year 2000, corresponding to abatements of 30 % in emissions of carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter were identified by the first Auto-Oil programme as key measures for the achievement of medium-term air quality. A reduction of 30 % in exhaust smoke opacity should additionally contribute to the reduction of particulate matter. Additional reductions in emission limits applicable from the year 2005, corresponding to additional abatements of 30 % in carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen and 80 % in particulate matter should greatly contribute to air quality improvement in the medium to longer-term. The additional limit for oxides of nitrogen applicable in the year 2008 should result in a further 43 % reduction in the emission limit for this pollutant.

(6)

Type-approval tests for gaseous and particulate pollutants and smoke opacity are applicable to allow for a more representative evaluation of the emissions performance of engines over test conditions that more closely resemble those encountered by vehicles in-service. From 2000, conventional compression-ignition engines and those compression-ignition engines fitted with certain types of emission control equipment are tested over a steady-state test cycle and over a new load response test for smoke opacity. Compression-ignition engines fitted with advanced emission control systems are, in addition, tested over a new transient test cycle. From 2005, all compression-ignition engines should be tested on all these test cycles. Gas fuelled engines are only tested on the new transient test cycle.

(7)

Under all randomly selected load conditions within a defined operating range, the limit values may not be exceeded by more than an appropriate percentage.

(8)

In laying down new standards and test procedures, it is necessary to take account of the impact on air quality of future traffic growth in the Community. The work undertaken by the Commission in this sphere has shown that the motor industry in the Community has made great strides in the perfection of the technology allowing a considerable reduction in emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants. However, it is still necessary to press for further improvements in emission limits and other technical requirements in the interests of environmental protection and public health. In particular, the results of on-going research into the characteristics of ultra-fine particulates should be taken into account in any future measures.

(9)

It is necessary that further improvements be made to the quality of motor fuels to enable the efficient and durable performance of emission control systems in service.

(10)

New provisions for on-board diagnostics (OBD) should be introduced from 2005 with a view to facilitating the immediate detection of the deterioration or failure of engine emission control equipment. This should enhance diagnostic and repair capability, significantly improving the sustainable emission performance of in-service heavy-duty vehicles. Since, on the world-wide stage, OBD for heavy-duty diesel engines is in its infancy, it should be introduced in the Community in two stages to allow for system development so that the OBD system does not give false indications. In order to assist the Member States in ensuring that the owners and operators of heavy-duty vehicles meet their obligation to repair faults indicated by the OBD system, the distance covered or the time that has elapsed after a fault has been indicated to the driver should be recorded.

(11)

Compression-ignition engines are inherently durable and have demonstrated that, with proper and effective maintenance, they can retain a high level of emissions performance over the significantly high distances travelled by heavy-duty vehicles in the course of commercial operations. However, future emission standards will push the introduction of emission control systems downstream of the engine, such as deNOx systems, diesel particulate filters and systems that are a combination of both and, perhaps, other systems yet to be defined. It is therefore necessary to establish a useful life requirement on which to base procedures for ensuring the compliance of an engine's emission control system throughout that reference period. In establishing such a requirement, due account should be taken of the considerable distances covered by heavy-duty vehicles, of the need to incorporate appropriate and timely maintenance and of the possibility of type-approving category N1 vehicles in accordance with either this Directive or Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles (11).

(12)

Member States should be allowed, by means of tax incentives, to expedite the placing on the market of vehicles that satisfy the requirements adopted at Community level, provided that such incentives comply with the provisions of the Treaty and satisfy certain conditions intended to prevent distortion of the internal market. This Directive does not affect the right of the Member States to include emissions of pollutants and other substances in the basis for calculating road traffic taxes on motor vehicles.

(13)

Since some of those tax incentives are State aids under Article 87(1) of the Treaty, they would have to be notified to the Commission under Article 88(3) of the Treaty for evaluation in accordance with the relevant criteria of compatibility. The notification of such measures in accordance with this Directive should be without prejudice to the obligation to notify under Article 88(3) of the Treaty.

(14)

With the aim of simplifying and accelerating the procedure, the Commission should be entrusted with the task of adopting measures implementing the fundamental provisions laid down in this Directive as well as the measures for adapting the annexes of this Directive to scientific and technical progress.

(15)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive and its adaptation to scientific and technical progress should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (12).

(16)

The Commission should keep under review the need to introduce emission limits for pollutants which are as yet unregulated and which arise as a consequence of the wider use of new alternative fuels and new exhaust emission control systems.

(17)

The Commission should submit any proposals it may deem appropriate for a further stage for limit values for NOx and particulate emissions as soon as possible.

(18)

Since the objectives of the proposed action, namely the realisation of the internal market through the introduction of common technical requirements concerning gaseous and particulate emissions for all types of vehicles, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved on a Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary for that purpose.

(19)

The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with the earlier Directives. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under the earlier Directives.

(20)

This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex IX, Part B,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

4.   EC TYPE-APPROVAL

4.1.   Granting of a universal fuel EC type-approval

A universal fuel EC type-approval is granted subject to the following requirements.

4.1.1.   In the case of diesel fuel the parent engine meets the requirements of this Directive on the reference fuel specified in Annex IV.

4.1.2.   In the case of natural gas the parent engine should demonstrate its capability to adapt to any fuel composition that may occur across the market. In the case of natural gas there are generally two types of fuel, high calorific fuel (H-gas) and low calorific fuel (L-gas), but with a significant spread within both ranges; they differ significantly in their energy content expressed by the Wobbe Index and in their λ-shift factor (Sλ). The formulae for the calculation of the Wobbe index and Sλ are given in sections 2.25 and 2.26. Natural gases with a λ-shift factor between 0,89 and 1,08 (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,08) are considered to belong to H-range, while natural gases with a λ-shift factor between 1,08 and 1,19 (1,08 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19) are considered to belong to L-range. The composition of the reference fuels reflects the extreme variations of Sλ.

The parent engine shall meet the requirements of this Directive on the reference fuels GR (fuel 1) and G25 (fuel 2), as specified in Annex IV, without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing, the parent engine shall be run-in using the procedure given in paragraph 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex III.

4.1.2.1.   On the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e. the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

4.1.3.   In the case of an engine fuelled with natural gas which is self-adaptive for the range of H-gases on the one hand and the range of L-gases on the other hand, and which switches between the H-range and the L-range by means of a switch, the parent engine shall be tested on the relevant reference fuel as specified in Annex IV for each range, at each position of the switch. The fuels are GR (fuel 1) and G23 (fuel 3) for the H-range of gases and G25 (fuel 2) and G23 (fuel 3) for the L-range of gases. The parent engine shall meet the requirements of this Directive at both positions of the switch without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests at each position of the switch. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing the parent engine shall be run-in using the procedure given in paragraph 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex III.

4.1.3.1.   At the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel instead of G23 (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e. the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

4.1.4.   In the case of natural gas engines, the ratio of the emission results ‘r‧ shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:

Formula

or,

Formula

and,

Formula

4.1.5.   In the case of LPG the parent engine should demonstrate its capability to adapt to any fuel composition that may occur across the market. In the case of LPG there are variations in C3/C4 composition. These variations are reflected in the reference fuels. The parent engine should meet the emission requirements on the reference fuels A and B as specified in Annex IV without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing, the parent engine shall be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex III.

4.1.5.1.   The ratio of emission results ‘r‧ shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:

Formula

4.2.   Granting of a fuel range restricted EC type-approval

Fuel range restricted EC type-approval is granted subject to the following requirements.

4.2.1.   Exhaust emissions approval of an engine running on natural gas and laid out for operation on either the range of H-gases or on the range of L-gases

The parent engine shall be tested on the relevant reference fuel, as specified in Annex IV, for the relevant range. The fuels are GR (fuel 1) and G23 (fuel 3) for the H-range of gases and G25 (fuel 2) and G23 (fuel 3) for the L-range of gases. The parent engine shall meet the requirements of this Directive without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing the parent engine shall be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex III.

4.2.1.1.   At the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel instead of G23 (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e. the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

4.2.1.3.   On delivery to the customer the engine shall bear a label (see paragraph 5.1.5) stating for which range of gases the engine is approved.

4.2.2.   Exhaust emissions approval of an engine running on natural gas or LPG and laid out for operation on one specific fuel composition

4.2.2.1.   The parent engine shall meet the emission requirements on the reference fuels GR and G25 in the case of natural gas, or the reference fuels A and B in the case of LPG, as specified in Annex IV. Between the tests fine-tuning of the fuelling system is allowed. This fine-tuning will consist of a recalibration of the fuelling database, without any alteration to either the basic control strategy or the basic structure of the database. If necessary the exchange of parts that are directly related to the amount of fuel flow (such as injector nozzles) is allowed.

4.2.2.2.   At the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on the reference fuels GR and G23, or on the reference fuels G25 and G23, in which case the type-approval is only valid for the H-range or the L-range of gases respectively.

4.2.2.3.   On delivery to the customer the engine shall bear a label (see paragraph 5.1.5) stating for which fuel composition the engine has been calibrated.

4.3.   Exhaust emissions approval of a member of a family

4.3.1.   With the exception of the case mentioned in paragraph 4.3.2, the approval of a parent engine shall be extended to all family members without further testing, for any fuel composition within the range for which the parent engine has been approved (in the case of engines described in paragraph 4.2.2) or the same range of fuels (in the case of engines described in either paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2) for which the parent engine has been approved.

4.3.2.   Secondary test engine

In case of an application for type-approval of an engine, or a vehicle in respect of its engine, that engine belonging to an engine family, if the technical service determines that, with regard to the selected parent engine the submitted application does not fully represent the engine family defined in Annex I, Apppendix 1, an alternative and if necessary an additional reference test engine may be selected by the technical service and tested.

4.4.   Type-approval certificate

6.1.4.   To verify whether any strategy or measure should be considered a defeat device or an irrational emission control strategy according to the definitions given in sections 2.28 and 2.30, the type-approval authority and/or the technical service may additionally request a NOx screening test using the ETC which may be carried out in combination with either the type-approval test or the procedures for checking the conformity of production

6.1.4.1.   As an alternative to the requirements of Appendix 4 to Annex III to Directive 88/77/EEC, the emissions of NOx during the ETC screening test may be sampled using the raw exhaust gas and the technical prescriptions of ISO DIS 16183, dated 15 October 2000, shall be followed.

6.1.4.2.   In verifying whether any strategy or measure should be considered a defeat device or an irrational emission control strategy according to the definitions given in sections 2.28 and 2.30, an additional margin of 10 %, related to the appropriate NOx limit value, shall be accepted.

6.1.5.   Transitional provisions for extension of type-approval

6.1.5.1.   This section shall only be applicable to new compression-ignition engines and new vehicles propelled by a compression-ignition engine that have been type-approved to the requirements of row A of the tables in section 6.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 88/77/EEC.

6.1.5.2.   As an alternative to sections 6.1.3 and 6.1.4, the manufacturer may present to the technical service the results of a NOx screening test using the ETC on the engine conforming to the characteristics of the parent engine described in Annex II, and taking into account the provisions of sections 6.1.4.1 and 6.1.4.2. The manufacturer shall also provide a written statement that the engine does not employ any defeat device or irrational emission control strategy as defined in section 2 of this Annex.

6.1.5.3.   The manufacturer shall also provide a written statement that the results of the NOx screening test and the declaration for the parent engine, as referred to in section 6.1.4, are also applicable to all engine types within the engine family described in Annex II.

6.2.   Specifications Concerning the Emission of Gaseous and Particulate Pollutants and Smoke

For type approval to row A of the tables in section 6.2.1, the emissions shall be determined on the ESC and ELR tests with conventional diesel engines including those fitted with electronic fuel injection equipment, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and/or oxidation catalysts. Diesel engines fitted with advanced exhaust aftertreatment systems including the NOx catalysts and/or particulate traps, shall additionally be tested on the ETC test.

For type approval testing to either row B1 or B2 or row C of the tables in section 6.2.1 the emissions shall be determined on the ESC, ELR and ETC tests.

For gas engines, the gaseous emissions shall be determined on the ETC test.

The ESC and ELR test procedures are described in Annex III, Appendix 1, the ETC test procedure in Annex III, Appendices 2 and 3.

The emissions of gaseous pollutants and particulate pollutants, if applicable, and smoke, if applicable, by the engine submitted for testing shall be measured by the methods described in Annex III, Appendix 4. Annex V describes the recommended analytical systems for the gaseous pollutants, the recommended particulate sampling systems, and the recommended smoke measurement system.

Other systems or analysers may be approved by the Technical Service if it is found that they yield equivalent results on the respective test cycle. The determination of system equivalency shall be based upon a 7 sample pair (or larger) correlation study between the system under consideration and one of the reference systems of this Directive. For particulate emissions only the full flow dilution system is recognised as the reference system. ‘Results‧ refer to the specific cycle emissions value. The correlation testing shall be performed at the same laboratory, test cell, and on the same engine, and is preferred to be run concurrently. The equivalency criterion is defined as a ± 5 % agreement of the sample pair averages. For introduction of a new system into the Directive the determination of equivalency shall be based upon the calculation of repeatability and reproducibility, as described in ISO 5725.

6.2.1.   Limit Values

The specific mass of the carbon monoxide, of the total hydrocarbons, of the oxides of nitrogen and of the particulates, as determined on the ESC test, and of the smoke opacity, as determined on the ELR test, shall not exceed the amounts shown in Table 1.

6.2.2.   Hydrocarbon measurement for diesel and gas fuelled engines

6.2.2.1.   A manufacturer may choose to measure the mass of total hydrocarbons (THC) on the ETC test instead of measuring the mass of non-methane hydrocarbons. In this case, the limit for the mass of total hydrocarbons is the same as shown in table 2 for the mass of non-methane hydrocarbons.

6.2.3.   Specific requirements for diesel engines

6.2.3.1.   The specific mass of the oxides of nitrogen measured at the random check points within the control area of the ESC test must not exceed by more than 10 per cent the values interpolated from the adjacent test modes (reference Annex III, Appendix 1 sections 4.6.2 and 4.6.3).

6.2.3.2.   The smoke value on the random test speed of the ELR must not exceed the highest smoke value of the two adjacent test speeds by more than 20 per cent, or by more than 5 per cent of the limit value, whichever is greater.

7.   INSTALLATION ON THE VEHICLE

7.1.3.   power absorbed by the auxiliaries needed for operating the engine shall not exceed that specified for the type-approved engine in Annex VI;

8.   ENGINE FAMILY

8.1.   Parameters defining the engine family

The engine family, as determined by the engine manufacturer, may be defined by basic characteristics which must be common to engines within the family. In some cases there may be interaction of parameters. These effects must also be taken into consideration to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within an engine family.

In order that engines may be considered to belong to the same engine family, the following list of basic parameters must be common:

8.1.1.   Combustion cycle:

2 cycle

4 cycle

8.1.2.   Cooling medium:

8.1.3.   For gas engines and engines with aftertreatment

Number of cylinders

(other diesel engines with fewer cylinders than the parent engine may be considered to belong to the same engine family provided the fuelling system meters fuel for each individual cylinder).

8.1.4.   Individual cylinder displacement:

engines to be within a total spread of 15 %

8.1.5.   Method of air aspiration:

8.2.   Choice of the Parent Engine

8.2.1.   Diesel Engines

The parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criteria of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criteria, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criteria of highest fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed. Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterised by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for test based upon features which indicate that it may have the highest emission level of the engines within that family.

If engines within the family incorporate other variable features which could be considered to affect exhaust emissions, these features shall also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.

8.2.2.   Gas Engines

The parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criteria of the largest displacement. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criteria, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criteria in the following order:

the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the speed of declared rated power;

the most advanced spark timing;

the lowest EGR rate;

no air pump or lowest actual air flow pump.

Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterised by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for test based upon features which indicate that it may have the highest emission level of the engines within that family.

9.   PRODUCTION CONFORMITY

9.1.   Measures to ensure production conformity must be taken in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC. Production conformity is checked on the basis of the description in the type-approval certificates set out in Annex VI to this Directive.

Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC are applicable where the competent authorities are not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer.

9.1.1.   If emissions of pollutants are to be measured and an engine type-approval has had one or several extensions, the tests will be carried out on the engine(s) described in the information package relating to the relevant extension.

9.1.1.1.   Conformity of the engine subjected to a pollutant test:

After submission of the engine to the authorities, the manufacturer shall not carry out any adjustment to the engines selected.

9.1.1.1.1.   Three engines are randomly taken in the series. Engines that are subject to testing only on the ESC and ELR tests or only on the ETC test for type approval to row A of the tables in section 6.2.1 are subject to those applicable tests for the checking of production conformity. With the agreement of the authority, all other engines type approved to row A, B1 or B2, or C of the tables in section 6.2.1 are subjected to testing either on the ESC and ELR cycles or on the ETC cycle for the checking of the production conformity. The limit values are given in section 6.2.1 of this Annex.

9.1.1.1.2.   The tests are carried out according to Appendix 1 to this Annex, where the competent authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, in accordance with Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC, which applies to motor vehicles and their trailers.

The tests are carried out according to Appendix 2 to this Annex, where the competent authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, in accordance with Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC, which applies to motor vehicles and their trailers.

At the manufacturer's request, the tests may be carried out in accordance with Appendix 3 to this Annex.

9.1.1.1.3.   On the basis of a test of the engine by sampling, the production of a series is regarded as conforming where a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and non conforming where a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, in accordance with the test criteria applied in the appropriate Appendix.

When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, this decision may not be changed by any additional tests made in order to reach a decision for the other pollutants.

If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and if no fail decision is reached for one pollutant, a test is carried out on another engine (see Figure 2).

If no decision is reached, the manufacturer may at any time decide to stop testing. In that case a fail decision is recorded.

9.1.1.2.   The tests will be carried out on newly manufactured engines. Gas fuelled engines shall be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of Appendix 2 to Annex III.

9.1.1.2.1.   However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on diesel or gas engines which have been run-in more than the period referred to in section 9.1.1.2, up to a maximum of 100 hours. In this case, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to those engines.

9.1.1.2.2.   When the manufacturer asks to conduct a running-in procedure in accordance with section 9.1.1.2.1, it may be carried out on:

all the engines that are tested,

or,

the first engine tested, with the determination of an evolution coefficient as follows:

the pollutant emissions will be measured at zero and at ‘x‧ hours on the first engine tested,

the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and ‘x‧ hours will be calculated for each pollutant:

Emissions ‘x‧ hours/Emissions zero hours

It may be less than one.

The subsequent test engines will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but their zero hour emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient.

In this case, the values to be taken will be:

the values at ‘x‧ hours for the first engine,

the values at zero hour multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other engines.

9.1.1.2.3.   For diesel and LPG fuelled engines, all these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in Annex IV may be used. This implies tests, as described in section 4 of this Annex, with at least two of the reference fuels for each gas engine.

9.1.1.2.4.   For NG fuelled engines, all these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel in the following way:

for H marked engines with a commercial fuel within the H-range (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,00),

for L marked engines with a commercial fuel within the L-range (1,00 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19),

for HL marked engines with a commercial fuel within the extreme range of the λ-shift factor (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19).

However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in Annex IV may be used. This implies tests, as described in section 4 of this Annex.

9.1.1.2.5.   In the case of dispute caused by the non-compliance of gas fuelled engines when using a commercial fuel, the tests shall be performed with a reference fuel on which the parent engine has been tested, or whith the possible additional fuel 3 as referred to in paragraphs 4.1.3.1 and 4.2.1.1 on which the parent engine may have been tested. Then, the result has to be converted by a calculation applying the relevant factor(s) ‘r‧, ‘ra‧ or ‘rb‧ as described in paragraphs 4.1.4, 4.1.5.1 and 4.2.1.2. If r, ra or rb are less than 1 no correction shall take place. The measured results and the calculated results must demonstrate that the engine meets the limit values with all relevant fuels (fuels 1, 2 and, if applicable, fuel 3 in the case of natural gas engines and fuels A and B in the case of LPG engines).

9.1.1.2.6.   Tests for conformity of production of a gas fuelled engine laid out for operation on one specific fuel composition shall be performed on the fuel for which the engine has been calibrated.

Appendix 1

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING WHEN STANDARD DEVIATION IS SATISFACTORY

1.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify production conformity for the emissions of pollutants when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is satisfactory.

2.

With a minimum sample size of three engines the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 % of the engines defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 %).

3.

The following procedure is used for each of the pollutants given in section 6.2.1 of Annex I (see Figure 2):

Let:

L

= the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant;

χi

= the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th engine of the sample;

s

= an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements);

n

= the current sample number.

4.

For each sample the sum of the standardised deviations to the limit is calculated using the following formula:

Formula

5.

Then:

if the test statistic result is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in table 3, a pass decision is reached for the pollutant;

if the test statistic result is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in table 3, a fail decision is reached for the pollutant;

otherwise, an additional engine is tested according to section 9.1.1.1 of Annex I and the calculation procedure is applied to the sample increased by one more unit.

Appendix 2

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING WHEN STANDARD DEVIATION IS UNSATISFACTORY OR UNAVAILABLE

1.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify production conformity for the emissions of pollutants when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.

2.

With a minimum sample size of three engines the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 % of the engines defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 %).

3.

The values of the pollutants given in section 6.2.1 of Annex I are considered to be log normally distributed and should be transformed by taking their natural logarithms. Let m0 and m denote the minimum and maximum sample size respectively (m0 = 3 and m = 32) and let n denote the current sample number.

4.

If the natural logarithms of the values measured in the series are χ1, χ2 · χiand L is the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant, then, define

di = χi - L

and

Formula Formula

5.

Table 4 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic result is the ratio

Formula

/vn and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:

For m0 ≤ n < m:

pass the series if Formula/vn ≤ An,

fail the series if Formula/vn ≥ Bn,

take another measurement if An < Formula/vn < Bn.

6.

Remarks

The following recursive formulae are useful for calculating successive values of the test statistic:

Appendix 3

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING AT MANUFACTURER'S REQUEST

1.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify, at the manufacturer's request, production conformity for the emissions of pollutants.

2.

With a minimum sample size of three engines the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 30 % of the engines defective is 0,90 (producer's risk = 10 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 %).

3.

The following procedure is used for each of the pollutants given in section 6.2.1 of Annex I (see Figure 2):

Let:

L

=

the limit value for the pollutant,

xi

=

the value of the measurement for the i-th engine of the sample,

n

=

the current sample number.

4.

Calculate for the sample the test statistic quantifying the number of non-conforming engines, i.e. xi ≥ L.

5.

Then:

if the test statistic is less than or equal to the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table 5, a pass decision is reached for the pollutant;

if the test statistic is greater than or equal to the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table 5, a fail decision is reached for the pollutant;

otherwise, an additional engine is tested according to section 9.1.1.1 of Annex I and the calculation procedure is applied to the sample increased by one more unit.

In Table 5 the pass and fail decision numbers are calculated by means of the International Standard ISO 8422/1991.

ANNEX III

TEST PROCEDURE

1.   INTRODUCTION

1.1.   This Annex describes the methods of determining emissions of gaseous components, particulates and smoke from the engines to be tested. Three test cycles are described that shall be applied according to the provisions of Annex I, section 6.2:

the ESC which consists of a steady state 13-mode cycle,

the ELR which consists of transient load steps at different speeds, which are integral parts of one test procedure, and are run concurrently,

the ETC which consists of a second-by-second sequence of transient modes.

1.2.   The test shall be carried out with the engine mounted on a test bench and connected to a dynamometer.

1.3.   Measurement principle

The emissions to be measured from the exhaust of the engine include the gaseous components (carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons for diesel engines on the ESC test only; non-methane hydrocarbons for diesel and gas engines on the ETC test only; methane for gas engines on the ETC test only and oxides of nitrogen), the particulates (diesel engines only) and smoke (diesel engines on the ELR test only). Additionally, carbon dioxide is often used as a tracer gas for determining the dilution ratio of partial and full flow dilution systems. Good engineering practice recommends the general measurement of carbon dioxide as an excellent tool for the detection of measurement problems during the test run.

1.3.1.   ESC Test

During a prescribed sequence of warmed-up engine operating conditions the amounts of the above exhaust emissions shall be examined continuously by taking a sample from the raw exhaust gas. The test cycle consists of a number of speed and power modes which cover the typical operating range of diesel engines. During each mode the concentration of each gaseous pollutant, exhaust flow and power output shall be determined, and the measured values weighted. The particulate sample shall be diluted with conditioned ambient air. One sample over the complete test procedure shall be taken, and collected on suitable filters. The grams of each pollutant emitted per kilowatt hour shall be calculated as described in Appendix 1 to this Annex. Additionally, NOx shall be measured at three test points within the control area selected by the Technical Service  (1) and the measured values compared to the values calculated from those modes of the test cycle enveloping the selected test points. The NOx control check ensures the effectiveness of the emission control of the engine within the typical engine operating range.

1.3.2.   ELR Test

During a prescribed load response test, the smoke of a warmed-up engine shall be determined by means of an opacimeter. The test consists of loading the engine at constant speed from 10 % to 100 % load at three different engine speeds. Additionally, a fourth load step selected by the Technical Service (1) shall be run, and the value compared to the values of the previous load steps. The smoke peak shall be determined using an averaging algorithm, as described in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

1.3.3.   ETC Test

During a prescribed transient cycle of warmed-up engine operating conditions, which is based closely on road-type-specific driving patterns of heavy-duty engines installed in trucks and buses, the above pollutants shall be examined after diluting the total exhaust gas with conditioned ambient air. Using the engine torque and speed feedback signals of the engine dynamometer, the power shall be integrated with respect to time of the cycle resulting in the work produced by the engine over the cycle. The concentration of NOx and HC shall be determined over the cycle by integration of the analyser signal. The concentration of CO, CO2, and NMHC may be determined by integration of the analyser signal or by bag sampling. For particulates, a proportional sample shall be collected on suitable filters. The diluted exhaust gas flow rate shall be determined over the cycle to calculate the mass emission values of the pollutants. The mass emission values shall be related to the engine work to get the grams of each pollutant emitted per kilowatt hour, as described in Appendix 2 to this Annex.

2.   TEST CONDITIONS

2.1.   Engine Test Conditions

2.1.1.   The absolute temperature (Ta) of the engine air at the inlet to the engine expressed in Kelvin, and the dry atmospheric pressure (ps), expressed in kPa shall be measured and the parameter F shall be determined according to the following provisions:

(a)

for diesel engines:

Naturally aspirated and mechanically supercharged engines:

Formula

Turbocharged engines with or without cooling of the intake air

Formula

(b)

for gas engines:

Formula

2.1.2.   Test Validity

For a test to be recognised as valid, the parameter F shall be such that:

0,96 ≤ F ≤ 1,06

2.2.   Engines with Charge Air Cooling

The charge air temperature shall be recorded and shall be, at the speed of the declared maximum power and full load, within ± 5 K of the maximum charge air temperature specified in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 1.16.3. The temperature of the cooling medium shall be at least 293 K (20 °C).

If a test shop system or external blower is used, the charge air temperature shall be within ± 5 K of the maximum charge air temperature specified in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 1.16.3 at the speed of the declared maximum power and full load. The setting of the charge air cooler for meeting the above conditions shall be used for the whole test cycle.

2.3.   Engine Air Intake System

An engine air intake system shall be used presenting an air intake restriction within ± 100 Pa of the upper limit of the engine operating at the speed at the declared maximum power and full load.

2.4.   Engine Exhaust System

An exhaust system shall be used presenting an exhaust back pressure within ± 1 000 Pa of the upper limit of the engine operating at the speed of declared maximum power and full load and a volume within ± 40 % of that specified by the manufacturer. A test shop system may be used, provided it represents actual engine operating conditions. The exhaust system shall conform to the requirements for exhaust gas sampling, as set out in Annex III, Appendix 4, section 3.4 and in Annex V, section 2.2.1, EP and section 2.3.1, EP.

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust aftertreatment device, the exhaust pipe must have the same diameter as found in-use for at least 4 pipe diameters upstream to the inlet of the beginning of the expansion section containing the aftertreatment device. The distance from the exhaust manifold flange or turbocharger outlet to the exhaust aftertreatment device shall be the same as in the vehicle configuration or within the distance specifications of the manufacturer. The exhaust backpressure or restriction shall follow the same criteria as above, and may be set with a valve. The aftertreatment container may be removed during dummy tests and during engine mapping, and replaced with an equivalent container having an inactive catalyst support.

2.5.   Cooling System

An engine cooling system with sufficient capacity to maintain the engine at normal operating temperatures prescribed by the manufacturer shall be used.

2.6.   Lubricating Oil

Specifications of the lubricating oil used for the test shall be recorded and presented with the results of the test, as specified in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 7.1.

2.7.   Fuel

The fuel shall be the reference fuel specified in Annex IV.

The fuel temperature and measuring point shall be specified by the manufacturer within the limits given in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 1.16.5. The fuel temperature shall not be lower than 306 K (33 °C). If not specified, it shall be 311 K ± 5 K (38 °C ± 5 °C) at the inlet to the fuel supply.

For NG and LPG fuelled engines, the fuel temperature and measuring point shall be within the limits given in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 1.16.5 or in Annex II, Appendix 3, section 1.16.5 in cases where the engine is not a parent engine.

2.8.   Testing of Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust aftertreatment system, the emissions measured on the test cycle(s) shall be representative of the emissions in the field. If this cannot be achieved with one single test cycle (e.g. for particulate filters with periodic regeneration), several test cycles shall be conducted and the test results averaged and/or weighted. The exact procedure shall be agreed by the engine manufacturer and the Technical Service based upon good engineering judgement.


(1)  The test points shall be selected using approved statistical methods of randomisation.

Appendix 1

ESC AND ELR TEST CYCLES

1.   ENGINE AND DYNAMOMETER SETTINGS

1.1.   Determination of Engine Speeds A, B and C

The engine speeds A, B and C shall be declared by the manufacturer in accordance with the following provisions:

The high speed nhi shall be determined by calculating 70 % of the declared maximum net power P(n), as determined in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 8.2. The highest engine speed where this power value occurs on the power curve is defined as nhi.

The low speed nlo shall be determined by calculating 50 % of the declared maximum net power P(n), as determined in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 8.2. The lowest engine speed where this power value occurs on the power curve is defined as nlo.

The engine speeds A, B and C shall be calculated as follows:

Speed A = nlo + 25% (nhi - nlo)

Speed B = nlo + 50% (nhi - nlo)

Speed C = nlo + 75% (nhi - nlo)

The engine speeds A, B and C may be verified by either of the following methods:

(a)

additional test points shall be measured during engine power approval according to Directive 80/1269/EEC for an accurate determination of nhi and nlo. The maximum power, nhi and nlo shall be determined from the power curve, and engine speeds A, B and C shall be calculated according to the above provisions.

(b)

the engine shall be mapped along the full load curve, from maximum no load speed to idle speed, using at least 5 measurement points per 1 000 rpm intervals and measurement points within ± 50 rpm of the speed at declared maximum power. The maximum power, nhi and nlo shall be determined from this mapping curve, and engine speeds A, B and C shall be calculated according to the above provisions.

If the measured engine speeds A, B and C are within ± 3 % of the engine speeds as declared by the manufacturer, the declared engine speeds shall be used for the emissions test. If the tolerance is exceeded for any of the engine speeds, the measured engine speeds shall be used for the emissions test.

1.2.   Determination of Dynamometer Settings

The torque curve at full load shall be determined by experimentation to calculate the torque values for the specified test modes under net conditions, as specified in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 8.2. The power absorbed by engine-driven equipment, if applicable, shall be taken into account. The dynamometer setting for each test mode shall be calculated using the formula:

s = P(n) x (L/100) if tested under net conditions

s = P(n) x (L/100) + (P(a) - P(b)) if not tested under net conditions

where:

s

= dynamometer setting, kW

P(n)

= net engine power as indicated in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 8.2, kW

L

= per cent load as indicated in section 2.7.1, (%)

P(a)

= power absorbed by auxiliaries to be fitted as indicated in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 6.1

P(b)

= power absorbed by auxiliaries to be removed as indicated in Annex II, Appendix 1, section 6.2

2.   ESC TEST RUN

At the manufacturers request, a dummy test may be run for conditioning of the engine and exhaust system before the measurement cycle.

2.1.   Preparation of the Sampling Filters

At least one hour before the test, each filter (pair) shall be placed in a closed, but unsealed petri dish and placed in a weighing chamber for stabilisation. At the end of the stabilisation period, each filter (pair) shall be weighed and the tare weight shall be recorded. The filter (pair) shall then be stored in a closed petri dish or sealed filter holder until needed for testing. If the filter (pair) is not used within eight hours of its removal from the weighing chamber, it must be conditioned and reweighed before use.

2.2.   Installation of the Measuring Equipment

The instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required. When using a full flow dilution system for exhaust gas dilution, the tailpipe shall be connected to the system.

2.3.   Starting the Dilution System and the Engine

The dilution system and the engine shall be started and warmed up until all temperatures and pressures have stabilised at maximum power according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering practice.

2.4.   Starting the Particulate Sampling System

The particulate sampling system shall be started and running on by-pass. The particulate background level of the dilution air may be determined by passing dilution air through the particulate filters. If filtered dilution air is used, one measurement may be done prior to or after the test. If the dilution air is not filtered, measurements at the beginning and at the end of the cycle, may be done, and the values averaged.

2.5.   Adjustment of the Dilution Ratio

The dilution air shall be set such that the temperature of the diluted exhaust gas measured immediately prior to the primary filter shall not exceed 325 K (52 °C) at any mode. The dilution ratio (q) shall not be less than 4.

For systems that use CO2 or NOx concentration measurement for dilution ratio control, the CO2 or NOx content of the dilution air must be measured at the beginning and at the end of each test. The pre- and post test background CO2 or NOx concentration measurements of the dilution air must be within 100 ppm or 5 ppm of each other, respectively.

2.6.   Checking the Analysers

The emission analysers shall be set at zero and spanned.

2.7.2.   Test Sequence

The test sequence shall be started. The test shall be performed in the order of the mode numbers as set out in section 2.7.1.

The engine must be operated for the prescribed time in each mode, completing engine speed and load changes in the first 20 seconds. The specified speed shall be held to within ± 50 rpm and the specified torque shall be held to within ± 2 % of the maximum torque at the test speed.

At the manufacturers request, the test sequence may be repeated a sufficient number of times for sampling more particulate mass on the filter. The manufacturer shall supply a detailed description of the data evaluation and calculation procedures. The gaseous emissions shall only be determined on the first cycle.

2.7.3.   Analyser Response

The output of the analysers shall be recorded on a strip chart recorder or measured with an equivalent data acquisition system with the exhaust gas flowing through the analysers throughout the test cycle.

2.7.4.   Particulate Sampling

One pair of filters (primary and back-up filters, see Annex III, Appendix 4) shall be used for the complete test procedure. The modal weighting factors specified in the test cycle procedure shall be taken into account by taking a sample proportional to the exhaust mass flow during each individual mode of the cycle. This can be achieved by adjusting sample flow rate, sampling time, and/or dilution ratio, accordingly, so that the criterion for the effective weighting factors in section 5.6 is met.

The sampling time per mode must be at least 4 seconds per 0,01 weighting factor. Sampling must be conducted as late as possible within each mode. Particulate sampling shall be completed no earlier than 5 seconds before the end of each mode.

2.7.5.   Engine Conditions

The engine speed and load, intake air temperature and depression, exhaust temperature and backpressure, fuel flow and air or exhaust flow, charge air temperature, fuel temperature and humidity shall be recorded during each mode, with the speed and load requirements (see section 2.7.2) being met during the time of particulate sampling, but in any case during the last minute of each mode.

Any additional data required for calculation shall be recorded (see sections 4 and 5).

2.7.6.   NOx Check within the Control Area

The NOx check within the control area shall be performed immediately upon completion of mode 13.

The engine shall be conditioned at mode 13 for a period of three minutes before the start of the measurements. Three measurements shall be made at different locations within the control area, selected by the Technical Service (1). The time for each measurement shall be 2 minutes.

The measurement procedure is identical to the NOx measurement on the 13-mode cycle, and shall be carried out in accordance with sections 2.7.3, 2.7.5, and 4.1 of this Appendix, and Annex III, Appendix 4, section 3.

The calculation shall be carried out in accordance with section 4.

2.7.7.   Rechecking the Analysers

After the emission test a zero gas and the same span gas shall be used for rechecking. The test will be considered acceptable if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than 2 % of the span gas value.

3.   ELR TEST RUN

3.1.   Installation of the Measuring Equipment

The opacimeter and sample probes, if applicable, shall be installed after the exhaust silencer or any aftertreatment device, if fitted, according to the general installation procedures specified by the instrument manufacturer. Additionally, the requirements of section 10 of ISO IDS 11614 shall be observed, where appropriate.

Prior to any zero and full scale checks, the opacimeter shall be warmed up and stabilised according to the instrument manufacturer's recommendations. If the opacimeter is equipped with a purge air system to prevent sooting of the meter optics, this system shall also be activated and adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

3.2.   Checking of the Opacimeter

The zero and full scale checks shall be made in the opacity readout mode, since the opacity scale offers two truly definable calibration points, namely 0 % opacity and 100 % opacity. The light absorption coefficient is then correctly calculated based upon the measured opacity and the LA, as submitted by the opacimeter manufacturer, when the instrument is returned to the k readout mode for testing.

With no blockage of the opacimeter light beam, the readout shall be adjusted to 0,0 % ± 1,0 % opacity. With the light being prevented from reaching the receiver, the readout shall be adjusted to 100,0 % ± 1,0 % opacity.

3.3.   Test Cycle

3.3.1.   Conditioning of the Engine

Warming up of the engine and the system shall be at maximum power in order to stabilise the engine parameters according to the recommendation of the manufacturer. The preconditioning phase should also protect the actual measurement against the influence of deposits in the exhaust system from a former test.

When the engine is stabilised, the cycle shall be started within 20 ± 2 s after the preconditioning phase. At the manufacturers request, a dummy test may be run for additional conditioning before the measurement cycle.

3.3.2.   Test Sequence

The test consists of a sequence of three load steps at each of the three engine speeds A (cycle 1), B (cycle 2) and C (cycle 3) determined in accordance with Annex III, section 1.1, followed by cycle 4 at a speed within the control area and a load between 10 % and 100 %, selected by the Technical Service (2). The following sequence shall be followed in dynamometer operation on the test engine, as shown in Figure 3.

(i)

The sequence (a) to (c) shall be run with the engine operating at the selected engine speed.

3.4.   Cycle Validation

The relative standard deviations of the mean smoke values at each test speed (SVA, SVB, SVC, as calculated in accordance with section 6.3.3 of this Appendix from the three successive load steps at each test speed) shall be lower than 15 % of the mean value, or 10 % of the limit value shown in Table 1 of Annex I, whichever is greater. If the difference is greater, the sequence shall be repeated until 3 successive load steps meet the validation criteria.

3.5.   Rechecking of the Opacimeter

The post-test opacimeter zero drift value shall not exceed ± 5,0 % of the limit value shown in Table 1 of Annex I.

4.   CALCULATION OF THE GASEOUS EMISSIONS

4.1.   Data Evaluation

For the evaluation of the gaseous emissions, the chart reading of the last 30 seconds of each mode shall be averaged, and the average concentrations (conc) of HC, CO and NOx during each mode shall be determined from the average chart readings and the corresponding calibration data. A different type of recording can be used if it ensures an equivalent data acquisition.

For the NOx check within the control area, the above requirements apply for NOx, only.

The exhaust gas flow GEXHW or the diluted exhaust gas flow GTOTW, if used optionally, shall be determined in accordance with Annex III, Appendix 4, section 2.3.

4.4.   Calculation of the Emission Mass Flow Rates

The emission mass flow rates (g/h) for each mode shall be calculated as follows, assuming the exhaust gas density to be 1,293 kg/m3 at 273 K (0 °C) and 101,3 kPa:

(1) NOx mass = 0,001587 x NOx conc x KH,D x GEXHW

(2) COx mass = 0,000966 x COconc x GEXHW

(3) HCmass = 0,000479 x HCconc x GEXHW

where NOx conc, COconc, HCconc  (3) are the average concentrations (ppm) in the raw exhaust gas, as determined in section 4.1.

If, optionally, the gaseous emissions are determined with a full flow dilution system, the following formulae shall be applied:

(1) NOx mass = 0,001587 x NOx conc x KH,D x GTOTW

(2) COx mass = 0,000966 x COconc x GTOTW

(3) HCmass = 0,000479 x HCconc x GTOTW

where NOx conc, COconc, HCconc  (4) are the average background corrected concentrations (ppm) of each mode in the diluted exhaust gas, as determined in Annex III, Appendix 2, section 4.3.1.1.

The weighting factors (WF) used in the above calculation are according to section 2.7.1.

4.6.   Calculation of the Area Control Values

For the three control points selected according to section 2.7.6, the NOx emission shall be measured and calculated according to section 4.6.1 and also determined by interpolation from the modes of the test cycle closest to the respective control point according to section 4.6.2. The measured values are then compared to the interpolated values according to section 4.6.3.

4.6.1.   Calculation of the Specific Emission

The NOx emission for each of the control points (Z) shall be calculated as follows:

NOx mass,Z = 0,001587 x NOx conc,Z x KH,D x GEXHW

Formula

4.6.2.   Determination of the Emission Value from the Test Cycle

The NOx emission for each of the control points shall be interpolated from the four closest modes of the test cycle that envelop the selected control point Z as shown in Figure 4. For these modes (R, S, T, U), the following definitions apply:

5.   CALCULATION OF THE PARTICULATE EMISSION

5.1.   Data Evaluation

For the evaluation of the particulates, the total sample masses (MSAM,i) through the filters shall be recorded for each mode.

The filters shall be returned to the weighing chamber and conditioned for at least one hour, but not more than 80 hours, and then weighed. The gross weight of the filters shall be recorded and the tare weight (see section 1 of this Appendix) subtracted. The particulate mass Mf is the sum of the particulate masses collected on the primary and back-up filters.

If background correction is to be applied, the dilution air mass (MDIL) through the filters and the particulate mass (Md) shall be recorded. If more than one measurement was made, the quotient Md/MDIL must be calculated for each single measurement and the values averaged.

5.2.   Partial Flow Dilution System

The final reported test results of the particulate emission shall be determined through the following steps. Since various types of dilution rate control may be used, different calculation methods for GEDFW apply. All calculations shall be based upon the average values of the individual modes during the sampling period.

5.2.1.   Isokinetic Systems

GEDFW,i = GEXHW,i x qI

Formula

where r corresponds to the ratio of the cross sectional areas of the isokinetic probe and the exhaust pipe:

Formula

5.2.2.   Systems with Measurement of CO2 or NOx Concentration

GEDF W,i = GEXH W,i × qi

Formula

where:

concE

=

= wet concentration of the tracer gas in the raw exhaust

concD

=

= wet concentration of the tracer gas in the diluted exhaust

concA

=

= wet concentration of the tracer gas in the dilution air

Concentrations measured on a dry basis shall be converted to a wet basis according to section 4.2 of this Appendix.

5.2.3.   Systems with CO2 Measurement and Carbon Balance Method (5)

Formula

where:

CO2D

= CO2 concentration of the diluted exhaust

CO2A

= CO2 concentration of the dilution air

(concentrations in vol % on wet basis)

This equation is based upon the carbon balance assumption (carbon atoms supplied to the engine are emitted as CO2) and determined through the following steps:

GEDFW,i = GEXHW,i x qi

and

Formula

5.2.4.   Systems with Flow Measurement

GEDF W,i = GEXH W,i × qi

Formula

5.3.   Full Flow Dilution System

The reported test results of the particulate emission shall be determined through the following steps. All calculations shall be based upon the average values of the individual modes during the sampling period.

5.6.   Effective Weighting Factor

The effective weighting factor WFE,i for each mode shall be calculated in the following way:

Formula

The value of the effective weighting factors shall be within ± 0,003 (± 0,005 for the idle mode) of the weighting factors listed in section 2.7.1.

6.   CALCULATION OF THE SMOKE VALUES

6.1.   Bessel Algorithm

The Bessel algorithm shall be used to compute the 1 s average values from the instantaneous smoke readings, converted in accordance with section 6.3.1. The algorithm emulates a low pass second order filter, and its use requires iterative calculations to determine the coefficients. These coefficients are a function of the response time of the opacimeter system and the sampling rate. Therefore, section 6.1.1 must be repeated whenever the system response time and/or sampling rate changes.

6.1.1.   Calculation of Filter Response Time and Bessel Constants

The required Bessel response time (tF) is a function of the physical and electrical response times of the opacimeter system, as specified in Annex III, Appendix 4, section 5.2.4, and shall be calculated by the following equation:

Formula

where:

tp

=

= physical response time, s

te

=

= electrical response time, s

The calculations for estimating the filter cut-off frequency (fc) are based on a step input 0 to 1 in ≤ 0,01 s (see Annex VII). The response time is defined as the time between when the Bessel output reaches 10 % (t10) and when it reaches 90% (t90) of this step function. This must be obtained by iterating on fc until t90-t10-tF. The first iteration for fc is given by the following formula:

Formula

The Bessel constants E and K shall be calculated by the following equations:

Formula

K = 2 × E × (D × Ω2 - 1) - 1

where:

D

=

0,618034

Δt

=

Formula

Ω

=

Formula

6.1.2   Calculation of the Bessel Algorithm

Using the values of E and K, the 1 s Bessel averaged response to a step input Si shall be calculated as follows:

Yi = Yi - 1 + E x (Si + 2 x Si - 1 + Si - 2 - 4 x Yi - 2) + K x (Yi - 1 - Yi - 2)

where:

Si-2

=

Si-1 = 0

Si

=

1

Yi-2

=

Yi-1 = 0

The times t10 and t90 shall be interpolated. The difference in time between t90 and t10 defines the response time tF for that value of fc. If this response time is not close enough to the required response time, iteration shall be continued until the actual response time is within 1 % of the required response as follows:

((t90 - t10) - tF) ≤ 0,01 x tF

6.2.   Data Evaluation

The smoke measurement values shall be sampled with a minimum rate of 20 Hz.

6.3.   Determination of Smoke

6.3.1.   Data Conversion

Since the basic measurement unit of all opacimeters is transmittance, the smoke values shall be converted from transmittance (τ) to the light absorption coefficient (k) as follows:

Formula

and

N = 100—τ

where:

k

=

light absorption coefficient, m-1

LA

=

= effective optical path length, as submitted by instrument manufacturer, m

N

=

= opacity, %

τ

=

= transmittance, %

The conversion shall be applied, before any further data processing is made.

6.3.2   Calculation of Bessel Averaged Smoke

The proper cut-off frequency fc is the one that produces the required filter response time tF. Once this frequency has been determined through the iterative process of section 6.1.1, the proper Bessel algorithm constants E and K shall be calculated. The Bessel algorithm shall then be applied to the instantaneous smoke trace (k-value), as described in section 6.1.2:

Yi = Yi - 1 + E x (Si + 2 x Si - 1 + Si - 2 - 4 x Yi - 2) + K x (Yi - 1 - Yi - 2)

The Bessel algorithm is recursive in nature. Thus, it needs some initial input values of Si-1 and Si-2 and initial output values Yi-1 and Yi-2 to get the algorithm started. These may be assumed to be 0.

For each load step of the three speeds A, B and C, the maximum 1s value Ymax shall be selected from the individual Yi values of each smoke trace.

6.3.3.   Final Result

The mean smoke values (SV) from each cycle (test speed) shall be calculated as follows:

For test speed A:

SVA = (Ymax1,A + Ymax2,A + Ymax3,A) / 3

For test speed B:

SVB = (Ymax1,B + Ymax2,B + Ymax3,B) / 3

For test speed C:

SVC = SVC = (Ymax1,C + Ymax2,C + Ymax3,C) / 3

where:

Ymax1, Ymax2, Ymax3

= highest 1 s Bessel averaged smoke value at each of the three load steps

The final value shall be calculated as follows:

SV = (0,43 x SVA) + (0,56 x SVB) + (0,01 x SVC)


(1)  The test points shall be selected using approved statistical methods of randomisation.

(2)  The test points shall be selected using approved statistical methods of randomisation.

(3)  Based on C1 equivalent.

(4)  Based on C1 equivalent.

(5)  The value is only valid for the reference fuel specified in Annex I.

Appendix 2

ETC TEST CYCLE

1.   ENGINE MAPPING PROCEDURE

1.1.   Determination of the Mapping Speed Range

For generating the ETC on the test cell, the engine needs to be mapped prior to the test cycle for determining the speed vs. torque curve. The minimum and maximum mapping speeds are defined as follows:

Minimum mapping speed

= idle speed

Maximum mapping speed

= nhi x 1,02 or speed where full load torque drops off to zero, whichever is lower

1.2.   Performing the Engine Power Map

The engine shall be warmed up at maximum power in order to stabilise the engine parameters according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering practice. When the engine is stabilised, the engine map shall be performed as follows:

(a)

the engine shall be unloaded and operated at idle speed;

(b)

the engine shall be operated at full load setting of the injection pump at minimum mapping speed;

(c)

the engine speed shall be increased at an average rate of 8 ± 1 min-1 /s from minimum to maximum mapping speed. Engine speed and torque points shall be recorded at a sample rate of a least one point per second.

1.3.   Mapping Curve Generation

All data points recorded under section 1.2 shall be connected using linear interpolation between points. The resulting torque curve is the mapping curve and shall be used to convert the normalised torque values of the engine cycle into actual torque values for the test cycle, as described in section 2.

1.4.   Alternate Mapping

If a manufacturer believes that the above mapping techniques are unsafe or unrepresentative for any given engine, alternate mapping techniques may be used. These alternate techniques must satisfy the intent of the specified mapping procedures to determine the maximum available torque at all engine speeds achieved during the test cycles. Deviations from the mapping techniques specified in this section for reasons of safety or representativeness shall be approved by the Technical Service along with the justification for their use. In no case, however, shall descending continual sweeps of engine speed be used for governed or turbocharged engines.

1.5.   Replicate Tests

An engine need not be mapped before each and every test cycle. An engine shall be remapped prior to a test cycle if:

an unreasonable amount of time has transpired since the last map, as determined by engineering judgement,

or

physical changes or recalibrations have been made to the engine which may potentially affect engine performance.

2.   GENERATION OF THE REFERENCE TEST CYCLE

The transient test cycle is described in Appendix 3 to this Annex. The normalised values for torque and speed shall be changed to the actual values, as follows, resulting in the reference cycle.

2.1.   Actual Speed

The speed shall be unnormalised using the following equation:

Formula

The reference speed (nref) corresponds to the 100 % speed values specified in the engine dynamometer schedule of Appendix 3. It is defined as follows (see Figure 1 of Annex I):

nref = nlo + 95 % x (nhi - nlo)

where nhi and nlo are either specified according to Annex I, section 2 or determined according to Annex III, Appendix 1, section 1.1.

2.2.   Actual torque

The torque is normalised to the maximum torque at the respective speed. The torque values of the reference cycle shall be unnormalised, using the mapping curve determined according to section 1.3, as follows:

Actual torque = (torque % x max. torque/100)

for the respective actual speed as determined in section 2.1.

The negative torque values of the motoring points ( ‘m‧) shall take on, for purposes of reference cycle generation, unnormalised values determined in either of the following ways:

negative 40 % of the positive torque available at the associated speed point,

mapping of the negative torque required to motor the engine from minimum to maximum mapping speed,

determination of the negative torque required to motor the engine at idle and reference speeds and linear interpolation between these two points.

2.3.   Example of the Unnormalisation Procedure

As an example, the following test point shall be unnormalised:

speed

= 43 %

torque

= 82 %

Given the following values:

reference speed

= 2 200 min- 1

idle speed

= 600 min- 1

results in,

actual speed = (43 x (2 200 - 600)/100) + 600 = 1 288 min-1

actual torque = (82 x 700/100) = 574 Nm

where the maximum torque observed from the mapping curve at 1 288 min- 1 700 Nm.

3.   EMISSIONS TEST RUN

At the manufacturers request, a dummy test may be run for conditioning of the engine and exhaust system before the measurement cycle.

NG and LPG fuelled engines shall be run-in using the ETC test. The engine shall be run over a minimum of two ETC cycles and until the CO emission measured over one ETC cycle does not exceed by more than 10 % the CO emission measured over the previous ETC cycle.

3.1.   Preparation of the Sampling Filters (Diesel Engines Only)

At least one hour before the test, each filter (pair) shall be placed in a closed, but unsealed petri dish and placed in a weighing chamber for stabilisation. At the end of the stabilisation period, each filter (pair) shall be weighed and the tare weight shall be recorded. The filter (pair) shall then be stored in a closed petri dish or sealed filter holder until needed for testing. If the filter (pair) is not used within eight hours of its removal from the weighing chamber, it must be conditioned and reweighed before use.

3.2.   Installation of the Measuring Equipment

The instrumentation and sample probes shall be installed as required. The tailpipe shall be connected to the full flow dilution system.

3.3.   Starting the Dilution System and the Engine

The dilution system and the engine shall be started and warmed up until all temperatures and pressures have stabilised at maximum power according to the recommendation of the manufacturer and good engineering practice.

3.4.   Starting the Particulate Sampling System (Diesel Engines Only)

The particulate sampling system shall be started and running on by-pass. The particulate background level of the dilution air may be determined by passing dilution air through the particulate filters. If filtered dilution air is used, one measurement may be done prior to or after the test. If the dilution air is not filtered, measurements at the beginning and at the end of the cycle, may be done, and the values averaged.

3.5.   Adjustment of the Full Flow Dilution System

The total diluted exhaust gas flow shall be set to eliminate water condensation in the system, and to obtain a maximum filter face temperature of 325 K (52 °C) or less (see Annex V, section 2.3.1, DT).

3.6.   Checking the Analysers

The emission analysers shall be set at zero and spanned. If sample bags are used, they shall be evacuated.

3.7.   Engine Starting Procedure

The stabilised engine shall be started according to the manufacturer's recommended starting procedure in the owner's manual, using either a production starter motor or the dynamometer. Optionally, the test may start directly from the engine preconditioning phase without shutting the engine off, when the engine has reached the idle speed.

3.8.   Test Cycle

3.8.1.   Test Sequence

The test sequence shall be started, if the engine has reached idle speed. The test shall be performed according to the reference cycle as set out in section 2 of this Appendix. Engine speed and torque command set points shall be issued at 5 Hz (10 Hz recommended) or greater. Feedback engine speed and torque shall be recorded at least once every second during the test cycle, and the signals may be electronically filtered.

3.8.2.   Analyser Response

At the start of the engine or test sequence, if the cycle is started directly from the preconditioning, the measuring equipment shall be started, simultaneously:

start collecting or analysing dilution air;

start collecting or analysing diluted exhaust gas;

start measuring the amount of diluted exhaust gas (CVS) and the required temperatures and pressures;

start recording the feedback data of speed and torque of the dynamometer.

HC and NOx shall be measured continuously in the dilution tunnel with a frequency of 2 Hz. The average concentrations shall be determined by integrating the analyser signals over the test cycle. The system response time shall be no greater than 20 s, and shall be coordinated with CVS flow fluctuations and sampling time/test cycle offsets, if necessary. CO, CO2, NMHC and CH4 shall be determined by integration or by analysing the concentrations in the sample bag, collected over the cycle. The concentrations of the gaseous pollutants in the dilution air shall be determined by integration or by collecting into the background bag. All other values shall be recorded with a minimum of one measurement per second (1 Hz).

3.8.3.   Particulate Sampling (Diesel Engines Only)

At the start of the engine or test sequence, if the cycle is started directly from the preconditioning, the particulate sampling system shall be switched from by-pass to collecting particulates.

If no flow compensation is used, the sample pump(s) shall be adjusted so that the flow rate through the particulate sample probe or transfer tube is maintained at a value within ± 5 % of the set flow rate. If flow compensation (i.e. proportional control of sample flow) is used, it must be demonstrated that the ratio of main tunnel flow to particulate sample flow does not change by more than ± 5 % of its set value (except for the first 10 seconds of sampling).

Note: For double dilution operation, sample flow is the net difference between the flow rate through the sample filters and the secondary dilution air flow rate.

The average temperature and pressure at the gas meter(s) or flow instrumentation inlet shall be recorded. If the set flow rate cannot be maintained over the complete cycle (within ± 5 %) because of high particulate loading on the filter, the test shall be voided. The test shall be rerun using a lower flow rate and/or a larger diameter filter.

3.8.4   Engine Stalling

If the engine stalls anywhere during the test cycle, the engine shall be preconditioned and restarted, and the test repeated. If a malfunction occurs in any of the required test equipment during the test cycle, the test shall be voided.

3.8.5.   Operations After Test

At the completion of the test, the measurement of the diluted exhaust gas volume, the gas flow into the collecting bags and the particulate sample pump shall be stopped. For an integrating analyser system, sampling shall continue until system response times have elapsed.

The concentrations of the collecting bags, if used, shall be analysed as soon as possible and in any case not later than 20 minutes after the end of the test cycle.

After the emission test, a zero gas and the same span gas shall be used for re-checking the analysers. The test will be considered acceptable if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than 2 % of the span gas value.

For diesel engines only, the particulate filters shall be returned to the weighing chamber no later than one hour after completion of the test and shall be conditioned in a closed, but unsealed petri dish for at least one hour, but not more than 80 hours before weighing.

3.9.   Verification of the Test Run

3.9.1.   Data Shift

To minimise the biasing effect of the time lag between the feedback and reference cycle values, the entire engine speed and torque feedback signal sequence may be advanced or delayed in time with respect to the reference speed and torque sequence. If the feedback signals are shifted, both speed and torque must be shifted the same amount in the same direction.

3.9.2   Calculation of the Cycle Work

The actual cycle work Wact (kWh) shall be calculated using each pair of engine feedback speed and torque values recorded. This shall be done after any feedback data shift has occurred, if this option is selected. The actual cycle work Wact is used for comparison to the reference cycle work Wref and for calculating the brake specific emissions (see sections 4.4 and 5.2). The same methodology shall be used for integrating both reference and actual engine power. If values are to be determined between adjacent reference or adjacent measured values, linear interpolation shall be used.

In integrating the reference and actual cycle work, all negative torque values shall be set equal to zero and included. If integration is performed at a frequency of less than 5 Hertz, and if, during a given time segment, the torque value changes from positive to negative or negative to positive, the negative portion shall be computed and set equal to zero. The positive portion shall be included in the integrated value.

Wact shall be between - 15 % and + 5 % of Wref.

3.9.3.   Validation Statistics of the Test Cycle

Linear regressions of the feedback values on the reference values shall be performed for speed, torque and power. This shall be done after any feedback data shift has occurred, if this option is selected. The method of least squares shall be used, with the best fit equation having the form:

y = mx + b

where:

y

=

Feedback (actual) value of speed (min-1), torque (Nm), or power (kW)

m

=

slope of the regression line

4.   CALCULATION OF THE GASEOUS EMISSIONS

4.1.   Determination of the Diluted Exhaust Gas Flow

The total diluted exhaust gas flow over the cycle (kg/test) shall be calculated from the measurement values over the cycle and the corresponding calibration data of the flow measurement device (V0 for PDP or KV for CFV, as determined in Annex III, Appendix 5, section 2). The following formulae shall be applied, if the temperature of the diluted exhaust is kept constant over the cycle by using a heat exchanger (± 6 K for a PDP-CVS, ± 11 K for a CFV-CVS, see Annex V, section 2.3).

For the PDP-CVS system:

MTOTW = 1,293 x V0 x Np x (pB - p1) x 273 / (101,3 x T)

where:

average temperature of the diluted exhaust gas at pump inlet over the cycle, K

For the CFV-CVS system:

T

=

absolute temperature at venturi inlet, K

If a system with flow compensation is used (i.e. without heat exchanger), the instantaneous mass emissions shall be calculated and integrated over the cycle. In this case, the instantaneous mass of the diluted exhaust gas shall be calculated as follows.

For the PDP-CVS system:

MTOTW,i = 1,293 x V0 x Np,i x (pB - p1) x 273 / (101,3 · T)

where:

MTOTW,i

=

instantaneous mass of the diluted exhaust gas on wet basis, kg

Np,i

=

total revolutions of pump per time interval

For the CFV-CVS system:

MTOTW,i = 1,293 x Δti x Kv x pA / T0,5

where:

MTOTW,i

=

instantaneous mass of the diluted exhaust gas on wet basis, kg

Δti

=

time interval, s

If the total sample mass of particulates (MSAM) and gaseous pollutants exceeds 0,5 % of the total CVS flow (MTOTW), the CVS flow shall be corrected for MSAM or the particulate sample flow shall be returned to the CVS prior to the flow measuring device (PDP or CFV).

where:

x, y

=

fuel composition CxHy

Alternatively, if the fuel composition is not known, the following stoichiometric factors may be used:

Appendix 4

MEASUREMENT AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES

1.   INTRODUCTION

Gaseous components, particulates, and smoke emitted by the engine submitted for testing shall be measured by the methods described in Annex V. The respective sections of Annex V describe the recommended analytical systems for the gaseous emissions (section 1), the recommended particulate dilution and sampling systems (section 2), and the recommended opacimeters for smoke measurement (section 3).

For the ESC, the gaseous components shall be determined in the raw exhaust gas. Optionally, they may be determined in the diluted exhaust gas, if a full flow dilution system is used for particulate determination. Particulates shall be determined with either a partial flow or a full flow dilution system.

For the ETC, only a full flow dilution system shall be used for determining gaseous and particulate emissions, and is considered the reference system. However, partial flow dilution systems may be approved by the Technical Service, if their equivalency according to section 6.2 to Annex I is proven, and if a detailed description of the data evaluation and calculation procedures is submitted to the Technical Service.

2.   DYNAMOMETER AND TEST CELL EQUIPMENT

The following equipment shall be used for emission tests of engines on engine dynamometers.

2.1.   Engine dynamometer

An engine dynamometer shall be used with adequate characteristics to perform the test cycles described in Appendices 1 and 2 to this Annex. The speed measuring system shall have an accuracy of ± 2 % of reading. The torque measuring system shall have an accuracy of ± 3 % of reading in the range > 20 % of full scale, and an accuracy of ± 0,6 % of full scale in the range ≤ 20 % of full scale.

2.2.   Other instruments

Measuring instruments for fuel consumption, air consumption, temperature of coolant and lubricant, exhaust gas pressure and intake manifold depression, exhaust gas temperature, air intake temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity and fuel temperature shall be used, as required. These instruments shall satisfy the requirements given in table 8:

2.3.   Exhaust Gas Flow

For calculation of the emissions in the raw exhaust, it is necessary to know the exhaust gas flow (see section 4.4 of Appendix 1). For the determination of the exhaust flow either of the following methods may be used:

(a)

Direct measurement of the exhaust flow by flow nozzle or equivalent metering system;

(b)

Measurement of the air flow and the fuel flow by suitable metering systems and calculation of the exhaust flow by the following equation:

GEXHW = GAIRW + GFUEL(for wet exhaust mass)

The accuracy of exhaust flow determination shall be ± 2,5 % of reading or better.

2.4.   Diluted exhaust gas flow

For calculation of the emissions in the diluted exhaust using a full flow dilution system (mandatory for the ETC), it is necessary to know the diluted exhaust gas flow (see section 4.3 of Appendix 2). The total mass flow rate of the diluted exhaust (GTOTW) or the total mass of the diluted exhaust gas over the cycle (MTOTW) shall be measured with a PDP or CFV (Annex V, section 2.3.1). The accuracy shall be ± 2 % of reading or better, and shall be determined according to the provisions of Annex III, Appendix 5, section 2.4.

3.   DETERMINATION OF THE GASEOUS COMPONENTS

3.1.   General analyser specifications

The analysers shall have a measuring range appropriate for the accuracy required to measure the concentrations of the exhaust gas components (section 3.1.1). It is recommended that the analysers be operated such that the measured concentration falls between 15 % and 100 % of full scale.

If read-out systems (computers, data loggers) can provide sufficient accuracy and resolution below 15 % of full scale, measurements below 15 % of full scale are also acceptable. In this case, additional calibrations of at least 4 non-zero nominally equally spaced points are to be made to ensure the accuracy of the calibration curves according to Annex III, Appendix 5, section 1.5.5.2.

The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the equipment shall be on a level as to minimise additional errors.

3.1.1.   Measurement Error

The total measurement error, including the cross sensitivity to other gases (see Annex III, Appendix 5, section 1.9), shall not exceed ± 5 % of the reading or ± 3,5 % of full scale, whichever is smaller. For concentrations of less than 100 ppm the measurement error shall not exceed ± 4 ppm.

3.1.2.   Repeatability

The repeatability, defined as 2,5 times the standard deviation of 10 repetitive responses to a given calibration or span gas, has to be not greater than ± 1 % of full scale concentration for each range used above 155 ppm (or ppmC) or ± 2 % of each range used below 155 ppm (or ppmC).

3.1.3.   Noise

The analyser peak-to-peak response to zero and calibration or span gases over any 10 second period shall not exceed 2 % of full scale on all ranges used.

3.1.4.   Zero Drift

The zero drift during a one hour period shall be less than 2 % of full scale on the lowest range used. The zero response is defined as the mean response, including noise, to a zero gas during a 30 seconds time interval.

3.1.5   Span Drift

The span drift during a one hour period shall be less than 2 % of full scale on the lowest range used. Span is defined as the difference between the span response and the zero response. The span response is defined as the mean response, including noise, to a span gas during a 30 seconds time interval.

3.2.   Gas Drying

The optional gas drying device must have a minimal effect on the concentration of the measured gases. Chemical dryers are not an acceptable method of removing water from the sample.

3.3.   Analysers

Sections 3.3.1 to 3.3.4 describe the measurement principles to be used. A detailed description of the measurement systems is given in Annex V. The gases to be measured shall be analysed with the following instruments. For non-linear analysers, the use of linearising circuits is permitted.

3.3.1   Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analysis

The carbon monoxide analyser shall be of the Non-Dispersive InfraRed (NDIR) absorption type.

3.3.2.   Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Analysis

The carbon dioxide analyser shall be of the Non-Dispersive InfraRed (NDIR) absorption type.

3.3.3.   Hydrocarbon (HC) analysis

For diesel and LPG fuelled gas engines, the hydrocarbon analyser shall be of the Heated Flame Ionisation Detector (HFID) type with detector, valves, pipework, etc. heated so as to maintain a gas temperature of 463 K ± 10 K (190 ± 10 °C). For NG fuelled gas engines, the hydrocarbon analyser may be of the non heated Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) type depending upon the method used (see Annex V, section 1.3).

3.3.4.   Non-Methane Hydrocarbon (NMHC) Analysis (NG Fuelled Gas Engines Only)

Non-methane hydrocarbons shall be determined by either of the following methods:

3.3.4.1.   Gas Chromatographic (GC) Method

Non-methane hydrocarbons shall be determined by subtraction of the methane analysed with a Gas Chromatograph (GC) conditioned at 423 K (150 °C) from the hydrocarbons measured according to section 3.3.3.

3.3.4.2.   Non-Methane Cutter (NMC) Method

The determination of the non-methane fraction shall be performed with a heated NMC operated in line with an FID as per section 3.3.3 by subtraction of the methane from the hydrocarbons.

3.3.5.   Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Analysis

The oxides of nitrogen analyser shall be of the ChemiLuminescent Detector (CLD) or Heated ChemiLuminescent Detector (HCLD) type with a NO2/NO converter, if measured on a dry basis. If measured on a wet basis, a HCLD with converter maintained above 328 K (55 °C) shall be used, provided the water quench check (see Annex III, Appendix 5, section 1.9.2.2) is satisfied.

3.4.   Sampling of Gaseous Emissions

3.4.1.   Raw Exhaust Gas (ESC only)

The gaseous emissions sampling probes must be fitted at least 0,5 m or 3 times the diameter of the exhaust pipe whichever is the larger-upstream of the exit of the exhaust gas system as far as applicable and sufficiently close to the engine as to ensure an exhaust gas temperature of at least 343 K (70 °C) at the probe.

In the case of a multi-cylinder engine with a branched exhaust manifold, the inlet of the probe shall be located sufficiently far downstream so as to ensure that the sample is representative of the average exhaust emissions from all cylinders. In multi-cylinder engines having distinct groups of manifolds, such as in a ‘Vee‧ engine configuration, it is permissible to acquire a sample from each group individually and calculate an average exhaust emission. Other methods which have been shown to correlate with the above methods may be used. For exhaust emission calculation the total exhaust mass flow must be used.

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust aftertreatment system, the exhaust sample shall be taken downstream of the exhaust aftertreatment system.

3.4.2.   Diluted Exhaust Gas (mandatory for ETC, optional for ESC)

The exhaust pipe between the engine and the full flow dilution system shall conform to the requirements of Annex V, section 2.3.1, EP.

The gaseous emissions sample probe(s) shall be installed in the dilution tunnel at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed, and in close proximity to the particulates sampling probe.

For the ETC, sampling can generally be done in two ways:

the pollutants are sampled into a sampling bag over the cycle and measured after completion of the test;

the pollutants are sampled continuously and integrated over the cycle; this method is mandatory for HC and NOx.

4.   DETERMINATION OF THE PARTICULATES

The determination of the particulates requires a dilution system. Dilution may be accomplished by a partial flow dilution system (ESC only) or a full flow dilution system (mandatory for ETC). The flow capacity of the dilution system shall be large enough to completely eliminate water condensation in the dilution and sampling systems, and maintain the temperature of the diluted exhaust gas at or below 325 K (52 °C) immediately upstream of the filter holders. Dehumidifying the dilution air before entering the dilution system is permitted, and especially useful if dilution air humidity is high. The temperature of the dilution air shall be 298 K ± 5 K (25 °C ± 5 °C). If the ambient temperature is below 293 K (20 °C), dilution air pre-heating above the upper temperature limit of 303 K (30 °C) is recommended. However, the dilution air temperature must not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel.

The partial flow dilution system has to be designed to split the exhaust stream into two fractions, the smaller one being diluted with air and subsequently used for particulate measurement. For this it is essential that the dilution ratio be determined very accurately. Different splitting methods can be applied, whereby the type of splitting used dictates to a significant degree the sampling hardware and procedures to be used (Annex V, section 2.2). The particulate sampling probe shall be installed in close proximity to the gaseous emissions sampling probe, and the installation shall comply with the provisions of section 3.4.1.

To determine the mass of the particulates, a particulate sampling system, particulate sampling filters, a microgram balance, and a temperature and humidity controlled weighing chamber, are required.

For particulate sampling, the single filter method shall be applied which uses one pair of filters (see section 4.1.3) for the whole test cycle. For the ESC, considerable attention must be paid to sampling times and flows during the sampling phase of the test.

4.1.   Particulate Sampling Filters

4.1.1.   Filter Specification

Fluorocarbon coated glass fibre filters or fluorocarbon based membrane filters are required. All filter types shall have a 0,3μm DOP (di-octylphthalate) collection efficiency of at least 95 % at a gas face velocity between 35 and 80 cm/s.

4.1.2.   Filter Size

Particulate filters must have a minimum diameter of 47 mm (37 mm stain diameter). Larger diameter filters are acceptable (section 4.1.5).

4.1.3.   Primary and Back-up Filters

The diluted exhaust shall be sampled by a pair of filters placed in series (one primary and one back-up filter) during the test sequence. The back-up filter shall be located no more than 100 mm downstream of, and shall not be in contact with the primary filter. The filters may be weighed separately or as a pair with the filters placed stain side to stain side.

4.1.4.   Filter Face Velocity

A gas face velocity through the filter of 35 to 80 cm/s shall be achieved. The pressure drop increase between the beginning and the end of the test shall be no more than 25 kPa.

4.1.5.   Filter Loading

The recommended minimum filter loading shall be 0,5 mg/1 075 mm2 stain area. For the most common filter sizes the values are shown in Table 9.

4.2.   Weighing Chamber and Analytical Balance Specifications

4.2.1.   Weighing Chamber Conditions

The temperature of the chamber (or room) in which the particulate filters are conditioned and weighed shall be maintained to within 295K ± 3 K (22 °C ± 3 °C) during all filter conditioning and weighing. The humidity shall be maintained to a dewpoint of 282,5K ± 3 K (9,5 °C ± 3 °C) and a relative humidity of 45 % ± 8 %.

4.2.2.   Reference Filter Weighing

The chamber (or room) environment shall be free of any ambient contaminants (such as dust) that would settle on the particulate filters during their stabilisation. Disturbances to weighing room specifications as outlined in section 4.2.1 will be allowed if the duration of the disturbances does not exceed 30 minutes. The weighing room should meet the required specifications prior to personal entrance into the weighing room. At least two unused reference filters or reference filter pairs shall be weighed within 4 hours of, but preferably at the same time as the sample filter (pair) weighings. They shall be the same size and material as the sample filters.

If the average weight of the reference filters (reference filter pairs) changes between sample filter weighings by more than ± 5 % (± 7,5 % for the filter pair respectively) of the recommended minimum filter loading (section 4.1.5.), then all sample filters shall be discarded and the emissions test repeated.

If the weighing room stability criteria outlined in section 4.2.1 is not met, but the reference filter (pair) weighings meet the above criteria, the engine manufacturer has the option of accepting the sample filter weights or voiding the tests, fixing the weighing room control system and rerunning the test.

4.2.3.   Analytical Balance

The analytical balance used to determine the weights of all filters shall have a precision (standard deviation) of 20μg and a resolution of 10μg (1 digit = 10 μ(g). For filters less than 70 mm diameter, the precision and resolution shall be 2 μg and 1 μg, respectively.

4.3.   Additional Specifications for Particulate Measurement

All parts of the dilution system and the sampling system from the exhaust pipe up to the filter holder, which are in contact with raw and diluted exhaust gas, must be designed to minimise deposition or alteration of the particulates. All parts must be made of electrically conductive materials that do not react with exhaust gas components, and must be electrically grounded to prevent electrostatic effects.

5.   DETERMINATION OF SMOKE

This section provides specifications for the required and optional test equipment to be used for the ELR test. The smoke shall be measured with an opacimeter having an opacity and a light absorption coefficient readout mode. The opacity readout mode shall only be used for calibration and checking of the opacimeter. The smoke values of the test cycle shall be measured in the light absorption coefficient readout mode.

5.1.   General Requirements

The ELR requires the use of a smoke measurement and data processing system which includes three functional units. These units may be integrated into a single component or provided as a system of interconnected components. The three functional units are:

an opacimeter meeting the specifications of Annex V, section 3,

a data processing unit capable of performing the functions described in Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6,

a printer and/or electronic storage medium to record and output the required smoke values specified in Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6.3.

5.2.   Specific Requirements

5.2.1.   Linearity

The linearity shall be within ± 2 % opacity.

5.2.2.   Zero Drift

The zero drift during a one hour period shall not exceed ± 1 % opacity.

5.2.3.   Opacimeter Display and Range

For display in opacity, the range shall be 0-100 % opacity, and the readability 0,1 % opacity. For display in light absorption coefficient, the range shall be 0-30 m-1 light absorption coefficient, and the readability 0,01 m-1 light absorption coefficient.

5.2.4   Instrument Response Time

The physical response time of the opacimeter shall not exceed 0,2 s. The physical response time is the difference between the times when the output of a rapid response receiver reaches 10 and 90 % of the full deviation when the opacity of the gas being measured is changed in less than 0,1 s.

The electrical response time of the opacimeter shall not exceed 0,05 s. The electrical response time is the difference between the times when the opacimeter output reaches 10 and 90 % of the full scale when the light source is interrupted or completely extinguished in less than 0,01 s.

5.2.5.   Neutral Density Filters

Any neutral density filter used in conjunction with opacimeter calibration, linearity measurements, or setting span shall have its value known to within 1,0 % opacity. The filter's nominal value must be checked for accuracy at least yearly using a reference traceable to a national or international standard.

Neutral density filters are precision devices and can easily be damaged during use. Handling should be minimised and, when required, should be done with care to avoid scratching or soiling of the filter.

Appendix 5

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1.   CALIBRATION OF THE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS

1.1.   Introduction

Each analyser shall be calibrated as often as necessary to fulfil the accuracy requirements of this Directive. The calibration method that shall be used is described in this section for the analysers indicated in Annex III, Appendix 4, section 3 and Annex V, section 1.

1.2.   Calibration Gases

The shelf life of all calibration gases must be respected.

The expiration date of the calibration gases stated by the manufacturer shall be recorded.

1.2.1.   Pure Gases

The required purity of the gases is defined by the contamination limits given below. The following gases must be available for operation:

Purified nitrogen

(Contamination ≤ 1 ppm C1, ≤ 1 ppm CO, ≤ 400 ppm CO2, ≤ 0,1 ppm NO)

Purified oxygen

(Purity > 99,5 % vol O2)

Hydrogen-helium mixture

(40 ± 2 % hydrogen, balance helium)

(Contamination ≤ 1 ppm C1, ≤ 400 ppm CO2)

Purified synthetic air

(Contamination ≤ 1 ppm C1, ≤ 1 ppm CO, ≤ 400 ppm CO2, ≤ 0,1 ppm NO)

(Oxygen content between 18-21 % vol.)

Purified propane or CO for the CVS verification

1.2.2.   Calibration and Span Gases

Mixtures of gases having the following chemical compositions shall be available:

C3H8 and purified synthetic air (see section 1.2.1);

CO and purified nitrogen;

NOx and purified nitrogen (the amount of NO2 contained in this calibration gas must not exceed 5 % of the NO content);

CO2 and purified nitrogen

CH4 and purified synthetic air

C2H6 and purified synthetic air

Note: Other gas combinations are allowed provided the gases do not react with one another.

The true concentration of a calibration and span gas must be within ± 2 % of the nominal value. All concentrations of calibration gas shall be given on a volume basis (volume percent or volume ppm).

The gases used for calibration and span may also be obtained by means of a gas divider, diluting with purified N2 or with purified synthetic air. The accuracy of the mixing device must be such that the concentration of the diluted calibration gases may be determined to within ± 2 %.

1.3.   Operating Procedure for Analysers and Sampling System

The operating procedure for analysers shall follow the start-up and operating instructions of the instrument manufacturer. The minimum requirements given in sections 1.4 to 1.9 shall be included.

1.4.   Leakage test

A system leakage test shall be performed. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilisation period all flow meters should read zero. If not, the sampling lines shall be checked and the fault corrected.

The maximum allowable leakage rate on the vacuum side shall be 0,5 % of the in-use flow rate for the portion of the system being checked. The analyser flows and bypass flows may be used to estimate the in-use flow rates.

Another method is the introduction of a concentration step change at the beginning of the sampling line by switching from zero to span gas. If after an adequate period of time the reading shows a lower concentration compared to the introduced concentration, this points to calibration or leakage problems.

1.5.   Calibration Procedure

1.5.1.   Instrument Assembly

The instrument assembly shall be calibrated and calibration curves checked against standard gases. The same gas flow rates shall be used as when sampling exhaust.

1.5.2   Warming-up Time

The warming-up time should be according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. If not specified, a minimum of two hours is recommended for warming up the analysers.

1.5.3.   NDIR and HFID Analyser

The NDIR analyser shall be tuned, as necessary, and the combustion flame of the HFID analyser shall be optimised (section 1.8.1).

1.5.4.   Calibration

Each normally used operating range shall be calibrated.

Using purified synthetic air (or nitrogen), the CO, CO2, NOx and HC analysers shall be set at zero.

The appropriate calibration gases shall be introduced to the analysers, the values recorded, and the calibration curve established according to section 1.5.5.

The zero setting shall be rechecked and the calibration procedure repeated, if necessary.

1.5.5   Establishment of the Calibration Curve

1.5.5.1.   General Guidelines

The analyser calibration curve shall be established by at least five calibration points (excluding zero) spaced as uniformly as possible. The highest nominal concentration must be equal to or higher than 90 % of full scale.

The calibration curve shall be calculated by the method of least squares. If the resulting polynomial degree is greater than 3, the number of calibration points (zero included) must be at least equal to this polynomial degree plus 2.

The calibration curve must not differ by more than ± 2 % from the nominal value of each calibration point and by more than ± 1 % of full scale at zero.

From the calibration curve and the calibration points, it is possible to verify that the calibration has been carried out correctly. The different characteristic parameters of the analyser must be indicated, particularly:

the measuring range,

the sensitivity,

the date of carrying out the calibration.

1.5.5.2.   Calibration below 15 % of Full Scale

The analyser calibration curve shall be established by at least 4 additional calibration points (excluding zero) spaced nominally equally below 15 % of full scale.

The calibration curve is calculated by the method of least squares.

The calibration curve must not differ by more than ± 4 % from the nominal value of each calibration point and by more than ± 1 % of full scale at zero.

1.5.5.3.   Alternative Methods

If it can be shown that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electronically controlled range switch, etc.) can give equivalent accuracy, then these alternatives may be used.

1.6.   Verification of the Calibration

Each normally used operating range shall be checked prior to each analysis in accordance with the following procedure.

The calibration shall be checked by using a zero gas and a span gas whose nominal value is more than 80 % of full scale of the measuring range.

If, for the two points considered, the value found does not differ by more than ± 4 % of full scale from the declared reference value, the adjustment parameters may be modified. Should this not be the case, a new calibration curve shall be established in accordance with section 1.5.5.

1.7.   Efficiency test of the NOx Converter

The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2 into NO shall be tested as given in sections 1.7.1 to 1.7.8 (Figure 6).

1.7.1.   Test Set-up

Using the test set-up as shown in Figure 6 (see also Annex III, Appendix 4, section 3.3.5) and the procedure below, the efficiency of converters can be tested by means of an ozonator.

1.7.2.   Calibration

The CLD and the HCLD shall be calibrated in the most common operating range following the manufacturer's specifications using zero and span gas (the NO content of which must amount to about 80 % of the operating range and the NO2 concentration of the gas mixture to less than 5 % of the NO concentration). The NOx analyser must be in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. The indicated concentration has to be recorded.

1.7.3   Calculation

The efficiency of the NOx converter is calculated as follows:

Formula

where,

a

=

is the NOx concentration according to section 1.7.6

b

=

is the NOx concentration according to section 1.7.7

c

=

is the NO concentration according to section 1.7.4

d

=

is the NO concentration according to section 1.7.5

1.7.4.   Adding of Oxygen

Via a T-fitting, oxygen or zero air is added continuously to the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 20 % less than the indicated calibration concentration given in section 1.7.2 (The analyser is in the NO mode). The indicated concentration c shall be recorded. The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout the process.

1.7.5.   Activation of the Ozonator

The ozonator is now activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to about 20 % (minimum 10 %) of the calibration concentration given in section 1.7.2. The indicated concentration d shall be recorded (The analyser is in the NO mode).

1.7.6.   NOx Mode

The NO analyser is then switched to the NOx mode so that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2, O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. The indicated concentration a shall be recorded. (The analyser is in the NOx mode).

1.7.7.   Deactivation of the Ozonator

The ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described in section 1.7.6 passes through the converter into the detector. The indicated concentration b shall be recorded. (The analyser is in the NOx mode).

1.7.8.   NO Mode

Switched to NO mode with the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen or synthetic air is also shut off. The NOx reading of the analyser shall not deviate by more than ± 5 % from the value measured according to section 1.7.2. (The analyser is in the NO mode).

1.7.9.   Test Interval

The efficiency of the converter must be tested prior to each calibration of the NOx analyser.

1.7.10.   Efficiency Requirement

The efficiency of the converter shall not be less than 90 %, but a higher efficiency of 95 % is strongly recommended.

Note: If, with the analyser in the most common range, the ozonator cannot give a reduction from 80 % to 20 % according to section 1.7.5, then the highest range which will give the reduction shall be used.

1.8.   Adjustment of the FID

1.8.1.   Optimisation of the Detector Response

The FID must be adjusted as specified by the instrument manufacturer. A propane in air span gas should be used to optimise the response on the most common operating range.

With the fuel and air flow rates set at the manufacturer's recommendations, a 350 ± 75 ppm C span gas shall be introduced to the analyser. The response at a given fuel flow shall be determined from the difference between the span gas response and the zero gas response. The fuel flow shall be incrementally adjusted above and below the manufacturer's specification. The span and zero response at these fuel flows shall be recorded. The difference between the span and zero response shall be plotted and the fuel flow adjusted to the rich side of the curve.

1.8.2.   Hydrocarbon Response Factors

The analyser shall be calibrated using propane in air and purified synthetic air, according to section 1.5.

Response factors shall be determined when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals. The response factor (Rf) for a particular hydrocarbon species is the ratio of the FID C1 reading to the gas concentration in the cylinder expressed by ppm C1.

The concentration of the test gas must be at a level to give a response of approximately 80 % of full scale. The concentration must be known to an accuracy of ± 2 % in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed in volume. In addition, the gas cylinder must be preconditioned for 24 hours at a temperature of 298 K ± 5 K (25 °C ± 5 °C).

The test gases to be used and the recommended relative response factor ranges are as follows:

Methane and purified synthetic air 1,00 ≤ Rf ≤ 1,15

Propylene and purified synthetic air 0,90 ≤ Rf ≤ 1,10

Toluene and purified synthetic air 0,90 ≤ Rf ≤ 1,10

These values are relative to the response factor (Rf) of 1,00 for propane and purified synthetic air.

1.8.3.   Oxygen Interference Check

The oxygen interference check shall be determined when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals.

The response factor is defined and shall be determined as described in section 1.8.2. The test gas to be used and the recommended relative response factor range are as follows:

Propane and nitrogen 0,95 ≤ Rf ≤ 1,05

This value is relative to the response factor (Rf) of 1,00 for propane and purified synthetic air.

The FID burner air oxygen concentration must be within ± 1 mole % of the oxygen concentration of the burner air used in the latest oxygen interference check. If the difference is greater, the oxygen interference must be checked and the analyser adjusted, if necessary.

1.8.4.   Efficiency of the Non-Methane Cutter (NMC, For NG Fuelled Gas Engines Only)

The NMC is used for the removal of the non-methane hydrocarbons from the sample gas by oxidising all hydrocarbons except methane. Ideally, the conversion for methane is 0 %, and for the other hydrocarbons represented by ethane is 100 %. For the accurate measurement of NMHC, the two efficiencies shall be determined and used for the calculation of the NMHC emission mass flow rate (see Annex III, Appendix 2, section 4.3).

1.8.4.1.   Methane Efficiency

Methane calibration gas shall be flown through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC and the two concentrations recorded. The efficiency shall be determined as follows:

CEM = 1 - (concw/concw/o)

where,

concw

=

HC concentration with CH4 flowing through the NMC

concw/o

=

HC concentration with CH4 bypassing the NMC

1.8.4.2.   Ethane Efficiency

Ethane calibration gas shall be flown through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC and the two concentrations recorded. The efficiency shall be determined as follows

Formula

where,

concw

=

HC concentration with C2H6 flowing through the NMC

concw/o

=

HC concentration with C2H6 bypassing the NMC

1.9.   Interference Effects with CO, CO2, and NOx Analysers

Gases present in the exhaust other than the one being analysed can interfere with the reading in several ways. Positive interference occurs in NDIR instruments where the interfering gas gives the same effect as the gas being measured, but to a lesser degree. Negative interference occurs in NDIR instruments by the interfering gas broadening the absorption band of the measured gas, and in CLD instruments by the interfering gas quenching the radiation. The interference checks in sections 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 shall be performed prior to an analyser's initial use and after major service intervals.

1.9.1.   CO Analyser Interference Check

Water and CO2 can interfere with the CO analyser performance. Therefore, a CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 % of full scale of the maximum operating range used during testing shall be bubbled through water at room temperature and the analyser response recorded. The analyser response must not be more than 1 % of full scale for ranges equal to or above 300 ppm or more than 3 ppm for ranges below 300 ppm.

1.9.2.   NOx Analyser Quench Checks

The two gases of concern for CLD (and HCLD) analysers are CO2 and water vapour. Quench responses to these gases are proportional to their concentrations, and therefore require test techniques to determine the quench at the highest expected concentrations experienced during testing.

1.9.2.1.   CO2 Quench Check

A CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 % of full scale of the maximum operating range shall be passed through the NDIR analyser and the CO2 value recorded as A. It shall then be diluted approximately 50 % with NO span gas and passed through the NDIR and (H)CLD, with the CO2 and NO values recorded as B and C, respectively. The CO2 shall then be shut off and only the NO span gas be passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as D.

The quench, which must not be greater than 3 % of full scale, shall be calculated as follows:

Formula

where,

A

=

is the undiluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR in %

B

=

is the diluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR in %

C

=

is the diluted NO concentration measured with (H)CLD in ppm

D

=

is the undiluted NO concentration measured with (H)CLD in ppm

Alternative methods of diluting and quantifying of CO2 and NO span gas values such as dynamic mixing/blending can be used.

1.9.2.2.   Water Quench Check

This check applies to wet gas concentration measurements only. Calculation of water quench must consider dilution of the NO span gas with water vapour and scaling of water vapour concentration of the mixture to that expected during testing.

A NO span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 % of full scale of the normal operating range shall be passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as D. The NO span gas shall then be bubbled through water at room temperature and passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as C. The analyser's absolute operating pressure and the water temperature shall be determined and recorded as E and F, respectively. The mixture's saturation vapour pressure that corresponds to the bubbler water temperature F shall be determined and recorded as G. The water vapour concentration (H, in %) of the mixture shall be calculated as follows:

H = 100 x (G/E)

The expected diluted NO span gas (in water vapour) concentration (De) shall be calculated as follows:

De = D x (1 - H/100)

For diesel exhaust, the maximum exhaust water vapour concentration (Hm, in %) expected during testing shall be estimated, under the assumption of a fuel atom H/C ratio of 1,8:1, from the undiluted CO2 span gas concentration (A, as measured in section 1.9.2.1) as follows:

Hm = 0,9 x A

The water quench, which must not be greater than 3 %, shall be calculated as follows:

% quench = 100 x ((De - C)/De) x (Hm/H)

where,

De

=

is the expected diluted NO concentration in ppm

C

=

is the diluted NO concentration in ppm

Hm

=

is the maximum water vapour concentration in %

H

=

is the actual water vapour concentration in %

Note: It is important that the NO span gas contains minimal NO2 concentration for this check, since absorption of NO2 in water has not been accounted for in the quench calculations.

1.10.   Calibration Intervals

The analysers shall be calibrated according to section 1.5 at least every 3 months or whenever a system repair or change is made that could influence calibration.

2.   CALIBRATION OF THE CVS-SYSTEM

2.1.   General

The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flowmeter traceable to national or international standards and a restricting device. The flow through the system shall be measured at different restriction settings, and the control parameters of the system shall be measured and related to the flow.

Various types of flowmeters may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi, calibrated laminar flowmeter, calibrated turbinemeter.

2.2.   Calibration of the Positive Displacement Pump (PDP)

All parameters related to the pump shall be simultaneously measured with the parameters related to the flowmeter which is connected in series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (in m3/min at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) shall be plotted versus a correlation function which is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equation which relates the pump flow and the correlation function shall then be determined. If a CVS has a multiple speed drive, the calibration shall be performed for each range used. Temperature stability shall be maintained during calibration.

2.2.1.   Data Analysis

The air flowrate (Qs) at each restriction setting (minimum 6 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/min from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The air flow rate shall then be converted to pump flow (V0) in m3/rev at absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure as follows:

Formula

where,

Qs

=

air flow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

T

=

temperature at pump inlet, K

pA

=

absolute pressure at pump inlet (pB-p1), kPa

n

=

pump speed, rev/s

To account for the interaction of pressure variations at the pump and the pump slip rate, the correlation function (X0) between pump speed, pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet and absolute pump outlet pressure shall be calculated as follows:

Formula

where,

Δpp

=

pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet, kPa

pA

=

absolute outlet pressure at pump outlet, kPa

A linear least-square fit shall be performed to generate the calibration equation as follows:

V0 = D0 - m x (X0)

D0 and m are the intercept and slope constants, respectively, describing the regression lines.

For a CVS system with multiple speeds, the calibration curves generated for the different pump flow ranges shall be approximately parallel, and the intercept values (D0) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.

The calculated values from the equation shall be within ± 0,5 % of the measured value of V0. Values of m will vary from one pump to another. Particulate influx over time will cause the pump slip to decrease, as reflected by lower values for m. Therefore, calibration shall be performed at pump start-up, after major maintenance, and if the total system verification (section 2.4) indicates a change of the slip rate.

2.3.   Calibration of the Critical Flow Venturi (CFV)

Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a critical venturi. Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature, as shown below:

Formula

where,

Kv

=

calibration coefficient

pA

=

absolute pressure at venturi inlet, kPa

T

=

temperature at venturi inlet, K

2.3.1.   Data Analysis

The air flowrate (Qs) at each restriction setting (minimum 8 settings) shall be calculated in standard m3/min from the flowmeter data using the manufacturer's prescribed method. The calibration coefficient shall be calculated from the calibration data for each setting as follows:

Formula

where,

Qs

=

air flow rate at standard conditions (101,3 kPa, 273 K), m3/s

T

=

temperature at the venturi inlet, K

pA

=

absolute pressure at venturi inlet, kPa

To determine the range of critical flow, Kv shall be plotted as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For critical (choked) flow, Kv will have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and Kv decreases, which indicates that the CFV is operated outside the permissible range.

For a minimum of eight points in the region of critical flow, the average Kv and the standard deviation shall be calculated. The standard deviation shall not exceed ± 0,3 % of the average KV.

2.4.   Total System Verification

The total accuracy of the CVS sampling system and analytical system shall be determined by introducing a known mass of a pollutant gas into the system while it is being operated in the normal manner. The pollutant is analysed, and the mass calculated according to Annex III, Appendix 2, section 4.3 except in the case of propane where a factor of 0,000472 is used in place of 0,000479 for HC. Either of the following two techniques shall be used.

2.4.1.   Metering with a Critical Flow Orifice

A known quantity of pure gas (carbon monoxide or propane) shall be fed into the CVS system through a calibrated critical orifice. If the inlet pressure is high enough, the flow rate, which is adjusted by means of the critical flow orifice, is independent of the orifice outlet pressure (critical flow). The CVS system shall be operated as in a normal exhaust emission test for about 5 to 10 minutes. A gas sample shall be analysed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated. The mass so determined shall be within ± 3 % of the known mass of the gas injected.

2.4.2.   Metering by Means of a Gravimetric Technique

The weight of a small cylinder filled with carbon monoxide or propane shall be determined with a precision of ± 0,01 gram. For about 5 to 10 minutes, the CVS system shall be operated as in a normal exhaust emission test, while carbon monoxide or propane is injected into the system. The quantity of pure gas discharged shall be determined by means of differential weighing. A gas sample shall be analysed with the usual equipment (sampling bag or integrating method), and the mass of the gas calculated. The mass so determined shall be within ± 3 % of the known mass of the gas injected.

3.   CALIBRATION OF THE PARTICULATE MEASURING SYSTEM

3.1.   Introduction

Each component shall be calibrated as often as necessary to fulfil the accuracy requirements of this Directive. The calibration method to be used is described in this section for the components indicated in Annex III, Appendix 4, section 4 and Annex V, section 2.

3.2.   Flow Measurement

The calibration of gas flow meters or flow measurement instrumentation shall be traceable to international and/or national standards. The maximum error of the measured value shall be within ± 2 % of reading.

ANALYTICAL AND SAMPLING SYSTEMS

1.   DETERMINATION OF THE GASEOUS EMISSIONS

1.1.   Introduction

Section 1.2 and figures 7 and 8 contain detailed descriptions of the recommended sampling and analysing systems. Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with figures 7 and 8 is not required. Additional components such as instruments, valves, solenoids, pumps, and switches may be used to provide additional information and co-ordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems, may be excluded if their exclusion is based upon good engineering judgement.

1.2.   Description of the Analytical System

An analytical system for the determination of the gaseous emissions in the raw (Figure 7, ESC only) or diluted (Figure 8, ETC and ESC) exhaust gas is described based on the use of:

HFID analyser for the measurement of hydrocarbons;

NDIR analysers for the measurement of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide;

HCLD or equivalent analyser for the measurement of the oxides of nitrogen;

The sample for all components may be taken with one sampling probe or with two sampling probes located in close proximity and internally split to the different analysers. Care must be taken that no condensation of exhaust components (including water and sulphuric acid) occurs at any point of the analytical system.

1.3.   NMHC Analysis (NG Fuelled Gas Engines Only)

1.3.1.   Gas Chromatographic Method (GC, Figure 9)

When using the GC method, a small measured volume of a sample is injected onto an analytical column through which it is swept by an inert carrier gas. The column separates various components according to their boiling points so that they elute from the column at different times. They then pass through a detector which gives an electrical signal that depends on their concentration. Since it is not a continuous analysis technique, it can only be used in conjunction with the bag sampling method as described in Annex III, Appendix 4, section 3.4.2.

For NMHC an automated GC with a FID shall be used. The exhaust gas shall be sampled into a sampling bag from which a part shall be taken and injected into the GC. The sample is separated into two parts (CH4/Air/CO and NMHC/CO2/H2O) on the Porapak column. The molecular sieve column separates CH4 from the air and CO before passing it to the FID where its concentration is measured. A complete cycle from injection of one sample to injection of a second can be made in 30 s. To determine NMHC, the CH4 concentration shall be subtracted from the total HC concentration (see Annex III, Appendix 2, section 4.3.1).

Figure 9 shows a typical GC assembled to routinely determine CH4. Other GC methods can also be used based on good engineering judgement.

2.   EXHAUST GAS DILUTION AND DETERMINATION OF THE PARTICULATES

2.1.   Introduction

Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 and figures 11 to 22 contain detailed descriptions of the recommended dilution and sampling systems. Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with these figures is not required. Additional components such as instruments, valves, solenoids, pumps, and switches may be used to provide additional information and coordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems, may be excluded if their exclusion is based upon good engineering judgement.

2.2.   Partial Flow Dilution System

A dilution system is described in figures 11 to 19 based upon the dilution of a part of the exhaust stream. Splitting of the exhaust stream and the following dilution process may be done by different dilution system types. For subsequent collection of the particulates, the entire dilute exhaust gas or only a portion of the dilute exhaust gas is passed to the particulate sampling system (section 2.4, Figure 21). The first method is referred to as total sampling type, the second method as fractional sampling type.

The calculation of the dilution ratio depends upon the type of system used. The following types are recommended:

Isokinetic systems (Figures 11, 12)

With these systems, the flow into the transfer tube is matched to the bulk exhaust flow in terms of gas velocity and/or pressure, thus requiring an undisturbed and uniform exhaust flow at the sampling probe. This is usually achieved by using a resonator and a straight approach tube upstream of the sampling point. The split ratio is then calculated from easily measurable values like tube diameters. It should be noted that isokinesis is only used for matching the flow conditions and not for matching the size distribution. The latter is typically not necessary, as the particles are sufficiently small as to follow the fluid streamlines.

Flow controlled systems with concentration measurement (Figures 13 to 17)

With these systems, a sample is taken from the bulk exhaust stream by adjusting the dilution air flow and the total dilute exhaust flow. The dilution ratio is determined from the concentrations of tracer gases, such as CO2 or NOx naturally occurring in the engine exhaust. The concentrations in the dilute exhaust gas and in the dilution air are measured, whereas the concentration in the raw exhaust gas can be either measured directly or determined from fuel flow and the carbon balance equation, if the fuel composition is known. The systems may be controlled by the calculated dilution ratio (Figures 13, 14) or by the flow into the transfer tube (Figures 12, 13, 14).

Flow controlled systems with flow measurement (Figures 18, 19)

With these systems, a sample is taken from the bulk exhaust stream by setting the dilution air flow and the total dilute exhaust flow. The dilution ratio is determined from the difference of the two flows rates. Accurate calibration of the flow meters relative to one another is required, since the relative magnitude of the two flow rates can lead to significant errors at higher dilution ratios (of 15 and above). Flow control is very straight forward by keeping the dilute exhaust flow rate constant and varying the dilution air flow rate, if needed.

When using partial flow dilution systems, attention must be paid to avoiding the potential problems of loss of particulates in the transfer tube, ensuring that a representative sample is taken from the engine exhaust, and determination of the split ratio. The systems described pay attention to these critical areas.

Figure 11

Partial flow dilution system with isokinetic probe and fractional sampling (SB control)

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the transfer tube TT by the isokinetic sampling probe ISP. The differential pressure of the exhaust gas between exhaust pipe and inlet to the probe is measured with the pressure transducer DPT. This signal is transmitted to the flow controller FC1 that controls the suction blower SB to maintain a differential pressure of zero at the tip of the probe. Under these conditions, exhaust gas velocities in EP and ISP are identical, and the flow through ISP and TT is a constant fraction (split) of the exhaust gas flow. The split ratio is determined from the cross sectional areas of EP and ISP. The dilution air flow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1. The dilution ratio is calculated from the dilution air flow rate and the split ratio.

Figure 12

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the transfer tube TT by the isokinetic sampling probe ISP. The differential pressure of the exhaust gas between exhaust pipe and inlet to the probe is measured with the pressure transducer DPT.

This is done by taking a small fraction of the dilution air whose flow rate has already been measured with the flow measurement device FM1, and feeding it to TT by means of a pneumatic orifice. Under these conditions, exhaust gas velocities in EP and ISP are identical, and the flow through ISP and TT is a constant fraction (split) of the exhaust gas flow. The split ratio is determined from the cross sectional areas of EP and ISP. The dilution air is sucked through DT by the suction blower SB, and the flow rate is measured with FM1 at the inlet to DT. The dilution ratio is calculated from the dilution air flow rate and the split ratio.

Figure 13

Partial flow dilution system with CO2 or NOx concentration measurement and fractional sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT. The concentrations of a tracer gas (CO2 or NOx) are measured in the raw and diluted exhaust gas as well as in the dilution air with the exhaust gas analyser(s) EGA. These signals are transmitted to the flow controller FC2 that controls either the pressure blower PB or the suction blower SB to maintain the desired exhaust split and dilution ratio in DT. The dilution ratio is calculated from the tracer gas concentrations in the raw exhaust gas, the diluted exhaust gas, and the dilution air.

Figure 14

Partial flow dilution system with CO2 concentration measurement, carbon balance and total sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT. The CO2 concentrations are measured in the diluted exhaust gas and in the dilution air with the exhaust gas analyser(s) EGA. The CO2 and fuel flow GFUEL signals are transmitted either to the flow controller FC2, or to the flow controller FC3 of the particulate sampling system (see Figure 21). FC2 controls the pressure blower PB, FC3 the sampling pump P (see Figure 21), thereby adjusting the flows into and out of the system so as to maintain the desired exhaust split and dilution ratio in DT. The dilution ratio is calculated from the CO2 concentrations and GFUEL using the carbon balance assumption.

Figure 15

Partial flow dilution system with single venturi, concentration measurement and fractional sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT due to the negative pressure created by the venturi VN in DT. The gas flow rate through TT depends on the momentum exchange at the venturi zone, and is therefore affected by the absolute temperature of the gas at the exit of TT. Consequently, the exhaust split for a given tunnel flow rate is not constant, and the dilution ratio at low load is slightly lower than at high load. The tracer gas concentrations (CO2 or NOx) are measured in the raw exhaust gas, the diluted exhaust gas, and the dilution air with the exhaust gas analyser(s) EGA, and the dilution ratio is calculated from the values so measured.

Figure 16

Partial flow dilution system with twin venturi or twin orifice, concentration measurement and fractional sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT by a flow divider that contains a set of orifices or venturis. The first one (FD1) is located in EP, the second one (FD2) in TT. Additionally, two pressure control valves (PCV1 and PCV2) are necessary to maintain a constant exhaust split by controlling the backpressure in EP and the pressure in DT. PCV1 is located downstream of SP in EP, PCV2 between the pressure blower PB and DT. The tracer gas concentrations (CO2 or NOx) are measured in the raw exhaust gas, the diluted exhaust gas, and the dilution air with the exhaust gas analyser(s) EGA. They are necessary for checking the exhaust split, and may be used to adjust PCV1 and PCV2 for precise split control. The dilution ratio is calculated from the tracer gas concentrations.

Figure 17

Partial flow dilution system with multiple tube splitting, concentration measurement and fractional sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the transfer tube TT by the flow divider FD3 that consists of a number of tubes of the same dimensions (same diameter, length and bend radius) installed in EP. The exhaust gas through one of these tubes is lead to DT, and the exhaust gas through the rest of the tubes is passed through the damping chamber DC. Thus, the exhaust split is determined by the total number of tubes. A constant split control requires a differential pressure of zero between DC and the outlet of TT, which is measured with the differential pressure transducer DPT. A differential pressure of zero is achieved by injecting fresh air into DT at the outlet of TT. The tracer gas concentrations (CO2 or NOx) are measured in the raw exhaust gas, the diluted exhaust gas, and the dilution air with the exhaust gas analyser(s) EGA. They are necessary for checking the exhaust split and may be used to control the injection air flow rate for precise split control. The dilution ratio is calculated from the tracer gas concentrations.

Figure 18

Partial flow dilution system with flow control and total sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT. The total flow through the tunnel is adjusted with the flow controller FC3 and the sampling pump P of the particulate sampling system (see Figure 18). The dilution air flow is controlled by the flow controller FC2, which may use GEXHW, GAIRW, or GFUEL as command signals, for the desired exhaust split. The sample flow into DT is the difference of the total flow and the dilution air flow. The dilution air flow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1, the total flow rate with the flow measurement device FM3 of the particulate sampling system (see Figure 21). The dilution ratio is calculated from these two flow rates.

Figure 19

Partial flow dilution system with flow control and fractional sampling

Image

Raw exhaust gas is transferred from the exhaust pipe EP to the dilution tunnel DT through the sampling probe SP and the transfer tube TT. The exhaust split and the flow into DT is controlled by the flow controller FC2 that adjusts the flows (or speeds) of the pressure blower PB and the suction blower SB, accordingly. This is possible since the sample taken with the particulate sampling system is returned into DT. GEXHW, GAIRW, or GFUEL may be used as command signals for FC2. The dilution air flow rate is measured with the flow measurement device FM1, the total flow with the flow measurement device FM2. The dilution ratio is calculated from these two flow rates.

2.2.1.   Components of Figures 11 to 19

EP Exhaust pipe

The exhaust pipe may be insulated. To reduce the thermal inertia of the exhaust pipe a thickness to diameter ratio of 0,015 or less is recommended. The use of flexible sections shall be limited to a length to diameter ratio of 12 or less. Bends shall be minimised to reduce inertial deposition. If the system includes a test bed silencer the silencer may also be insulated.

For an isokinetic system, the exhaust pipe must be free of elbows, bends and sudden diameter changes for at least 6 pipe diameters upstream and 3 pipe diameters downstream of the tip of the probe. The gas velocity at the sampling zone must be higher than 10 m/s except at idle mode. Pressure oscillations of the exhaust gas must not exceed ± 500 Pa on the average. Any steps to reduce pressure oscillations beyond using a chassis-type exhaust system (including silencer and aftertreatment devices) must not alter engine performance nor cause the deposition of particulates.

For systems without isokinetic probe, it is recommended to have a straight pipe of 6 pipe diameters upstream and 3 pipe diameters downstream of the tip of the probe.

SP Sampling probe (Figures 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19)

The minimum inside diameter shall be 4 mm. The minimum diameter ratio between exhaust pipe and probe shall be 4. The probe shall be an open tube facing upstream on the exhaust pipe centreline, or a multiple hole probe as described under SP1 in section 1.2.1, Figure 5.

ISP Isokinetic sampling probe (Figures 11, 12)

The isokinetic sampling probe must be installed facing upstream on the exhaust pipe centreline where the flow conditions in section EP are met, and designed to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. The minimum inside diameter shall be 12 mm.

A control system is necessary for isokinetic exhaust splitting by maintaining a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP. Under these conditions exhaust gas velocities in EP and ISP are identical and the mass flow through ISP is a constant fraction of the exhaust gas flow. ISP has to be connected to a differential pressure transducer DPT. The control to provide a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP is done with the flow controller FC1.

FD1, FD2 Flow divider (Figure 16)

A set of venturis or orifices is installed in the exhaust pipe EP and in the transfer tube TT, respectively, to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. A control system consisting of two pressure control valves PCV1 and PCV2 is necessary for proportional splitting by controlling the pressures in EP and DT.

FD3 Flow divider (Figure 17)

A set of tubes (multiple tube unit) is installed in the exhaust pipe EP to provide a proportional sample of the raw exhaust gas. One of the tubes feeds exhaust gas to the dilution tunnel DT, whereas the other tubes exit exhaust gas to a damping chamber DC. The tubes must have the same dimensions (same diameter, length, bend radius), so that the exhaust split depends on the total number of tubes. A control system is necessary for proportional splitting by maintaining a differential pressure of zero between the exit of the multiple tube unit into DC and the exit of TT. Under these conditions, exhaust gas velocities in EP and FD3 are proportional, and the flow TT is a constant fraction of the exhaust gas flow. The two points have to be connected to a differential pressure transducer DPT. The control to provide a differential pressure of zero is done with the flow controller FC1.

EGA Exhaust gas analyser (Figures 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

CO2 or NOx analysers may be used (with carbon balance method CO2 only). The analysers shall be calibrated like the analysers for the measurement of the gaseous emissions. One or several analysers may be used to determine the concentration differences. The accuracy of the measuring systems has to be such that the accuracy of GEDFW,i is within ± 4 %.

TT Transfer tube (Figures 11 to 19)

The transfer tube shall be:

as short as possible, but not more than 5 m in length,

equal to or greater than the probe diameter, but not more than 25 mm in diameter,

exiting on the centreline of the dilution tunnel and pointing downstream.

If the tube is 1 meter or less in length, it shall be insulated with material with a maximum thermal conductivity of 0,05 W/m × K with a radial insulation thickness corresponding to the diameter of the probe. If the tube is longer than 1 meter, it must be insulated and heated to a minimum wall temperature of 523 K (250 °C).

DPT Differential pressure transducer (Figures 11, 12, 17)

The differential pressure transducer shall have a range of ± 500 Pa or less.

FC1 Flow controller (Figures 11, 12, 17)

For isokinetic systems (Figures 11,12), a flow controller is necessary to maintain a differential pressure of zero between EP and ISP. The adjustment can be done by:

(a)

controlling the speed or flow of the suction blower SB and keeping the speed or flow of the pressure blower PB constant during each mode (Figure 11);

or

(b)

adjusting the suction blower SB to a constant mass flow of the diluted exhaust gas and controlling the flow of the pressure blower PB, and therefore the exhaust sample flow in a region at the end of the transfer tube TT (Figure 12).

In the case of a pressure controlled system the remaining error in the control loop must not exceed ± 3 Pa. The pressure oscillations in the dilution tunnel must not exceed ± 250 Pa on the average.

For a multi tube system (Figure 17), a flow controller is necessary for proportional exhaust splitting to maintain a differential pressure of zero between the exit of the multi tube unit and the exit of TT. The adjustment is done by controlling the injection air flow rate into DT at the exit of TT.

PCV1, PCV2 Pressure control valve (Figure 16)

Two pressure control valves are necessary for the twin venturi/twin orifice system for proportional flow splitting by controlling the backpressure of EP and the pressure in DT. The valves shall be located downstream of SP in EP and between PB and DT.

DC Damping chamber (Figure 17)

A damping chamber shall be installed at the exit of the multiple tube unit to minimise the pressure oscillations in the exhaust pipe EP.

VN Venturi (Figure 15)

A venturi is installed in the dilution tunnel DT to create a negative pressure in the region of the exit of the transfer tube TT. The gas flow rate through TT is determined by the momentum exchange at the venturi zone, and is basically proportional to the flow rate of the pressure blower PB leading to a constant dilution ratio. Since the momentum exchange is affected by the temperature at the exit of TT and the pressure difference between EP and DT, the actual dilution ratio is slightly lower at low load than at high load.

FC2 Flow controller (Figures 13, 14, 18, 19, optional)

A flow controller may be used to control the flow of the pressure blower PB and/or the suction blower SB. It may be connected to the exhaust, intake air, or fuel flow signals and/or to the CO2 or NOx differential signals.

When using a pressurised air supply (Figure 18), FC2 directly controls the air flow.

FM1 Flow measurement device (Figures 11, 12, 18, 19)

Gas meter or other flow instrumentation to measure the dilution air flow. FM1 is optional if the pressure blower PB is calibrated to measure the flow.

FM2 Flow measurement device (Figure 19)

Gas meter or other flow instrumentation to measure the diluted exhaust gas flow. FM2 is optional if the suction blower SB is calibrated to measure the flow.

PB Pressures blower (Figures 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19)

To control the dilution air flow rate, PB may be connected to the flow controllers FC1 or FC2. PB is not required when using a butterfly valve. PB may be used to to measure the dilution air flow, if calibrated.

SB Suction blower (Figures 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19)

For fractional sampling systems only. SB may be used to measure the diluted exhaust gas flow, if calibrated.

DAF Dilution air filter (Figures 11 to 19)

It is recommended that the dilution air be filtered and charcoal scrubbed to eliminate background hydrocarbons. At the engine manufacturers request the dilution air shall be sampled according to good engineering practice to determine the background particulate levels, which can then be subtracted from the values measured in the diluted exhaust.

DT Dilution tunnel (Figures 11 to 19)

The dilution tunnel:

shall be of a sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and dilution air under turbulent flow conditions;

shall be constructed of stainless steel with:

thickness/diamter ratio of 0,025 or less for dilution tunnels with inside diameters greater than 75 mm;

a nominal thickness of no less then 1,5 mm for dilution tunnels with inside diameters of equal to or less than 75 mm;

shall be at least 75 mm in diameter for the fractional sampling type;

is recommended to be at least 25 mm in diameter for the total sampling type;

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

may be insulated.

The engine exhaust shall be thoroughly mixed with the dilution air. For fractional sampling systems, the mixing quality shall be checked after introduction into service by means of a CO2 -profile of the tunnel with the engine running (at least four equally spaced measuring points). If necessary, a mixing orifice may be used.

Note: If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the dilution tunnel (DT) is below 293 K (20 °C), precautions should be taken to avoid particle losses onto the cool walls of the dilution tunnel. Therefore, heating and/or insulating the tunnel within the limits given above is recommended.

At high engine loads, the tunnel may be cooled by a non-aggressive means such as a circulating fan, as long as the temperature of the cooling medium is not below 293 K (20 °C).

HE Heat exchanger (Figures 16, 17)

The heat exchanger shall be of sufficient capacity to maintain the temperature at the inlet to the suction blower SB within ± 11K of the average operating temperature observed during the test.

2.3   Full flow dilution system

A dilution system is described in Figure 20 based upon the dilution of the total exhaust using the CVS (Constant Volume Sampling) concept. The total volume of the mixture of exhaust and dilution air must be measured. Either a PDP or a CFV system may be used.

For subsequent collection of the particulates, a sample of the dilute exhaust gas is passed to the particulate sampling system (section 2.4, figures 21 and 22). If this is done directly, it is referred to as single dilution. If the sample is diluted once more in the secondary dilution tunnel, it is referred to as double dilution. This is useful, if the filter face temperature requirement cannot be met with single dilution. Although partly a dilution system, the double dilution system is described as a modification of a particulate sampling system in section 2.4, Figure 22, since it shares most of the parts with a typical particulate sampling system.

Figure 20

Full flow dilution system

— to background filter

Image

The total amount of raw exhaust gas is mixed in the dilution tunnel DT with the dilution air. The diluted exhaust gas flow rate is measured either with a Positive Displacement Pump PDP or with a Critical Flow Venturi CFV. A heat exchanger HE or electronic flow compensation EFC may be used for proportional particulate sampling and for flow determination. Since particulate mass determination is based on the total diluted exhaust gas flow, the dilution ratio is not required to be calculated.

2.3.1.   Components of Figure 20

EP Exhaust pipe

The exhaust pipe length from the exit of the engine exhaust manifold, turbocharger outlet or aftertreatment device to the dilution tunnel shall not exceed 10 m. If the exhaust pipe downstream of the engine exhaust manifold, turbocharger outlet or aftertreatment device exceeds 4 m in length, then all tubing in excess of 4 m shall be insulated, except for an in-line smokemeter, if used. The radial thickness of the insulation must be at least 25 mm. The thermal conductivity of the insulating material must have a value no greater than 0,1 W/(m × K) measured at 673 K. To reduce the thermal inertia of the exhaust pipe a thickness to diameter ratio of 0,015 or less is recommended. The use of flexible sections shall be limited to a length to diameter ratio of 12 or less.

PDP Positive displacement pump

The PDP meters total diluted exhaust flow from the number of the pump revolutions and the pump displacement. The exhaust system backpressure must not be artificially lowered by the PDP or dilution air inlet system. Static exhaust backpressure measured with the PDP system operating shall remain within ± 1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the PDP at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the PDP shall be within ± 6 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation is used. Flow compensation may only be used if the temperature at the inlet to the PDP does not exceed 323 K (50 °C).

CFV Critical Flow Venturi

CFV measures total diluted exhaust flow by maintaining the flow at choked conditions (critical flow). Static exhaust backpressure measured with the CFV system operating shall remain within ± 1,5 kPa of the static pressure measured without connection to the CFV at identical engine speed and load. The gas mixture temperature immediately ahead of the CFV shall be within ± 11 K of the average operating temperature observed during the test, when no flow compensation is used.

HE Heat exchanger (optional, if EFC is used)

The heat exchanger shall be of sufficient capacity to maintain the temperature within the limits required above..

EFC Electronic flow compensation (optional, if HE is used)

If the temperature at the inlet to either the PDP or CFV is not kept within the limits stated above, a flow compensation system is required for continuous measurement of the flow rate and control of the proportional sampling in the particulate system. To that purpose, the continuously measured flow rate signals are used to correct the sample flow rate through the particulate filters of the particulate sampling system (see section 2.4, figures 21, 22), accordingly.

DT Dilution tunnel

The dilution tunnel:

shall be small enough in diameter to cause turbulent flow (Reynolds Number greater than 4 000) and of sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and dilution air; a mixing orifice may be used;

shall be at least 460 mm in diameter with a single dilution system;

shall be at least 210 mm in diameter with a double dilution system;

may be insulated.

The engine exhaust shall be directed downstream at the point where it is introduced into the dilution tunnel, and thoroughly mixed.

When using single dilution, a sample from the dilution tunnel is transferred to the particulate sampling system (section 2.4, Figure 21). The flow capacity of the PDP or CFV must be sufficient to maintain the diluted exhaust at a temperature of less than or equal to 325 K (52 °C) immediately before the primary particulate filter.

When using double dilution, a sample from the dilution tunnel is transferred to the secondary dilution tunnel where it is further diluted, and then passed through the sampling filters (section 2.4, Figure 22). The flow capacity of the PDP or CFV must be sufficient to maintain the diluted exhaust stream in the DT at a temperature of less than or equal to 464 K (191 °C) at the sampling zone. The secondary dilution system must provide sufficient secondary dilution air to maintain the doubly-diluted exhaust stream at a temperature of less than or equal to 325 K (52 °C) immediately before the primary particulate filter.

DAF Dilution air filter

It is recommended that the dilution air be filtered and charcoal scrubbed to eliminate background hydrocarbons. At the engine manufacturers request the dilution air shall be sampled according to good engineering practice to determine the background particulate levels, which can then be subtracted from the values measured in the diluted exhaust.

PSP Particulate sampling probe

The probe is the leading section of PTT and:

shall be installed facing upstream at a point where the dilution air and exhaust gas are well mixed, i.e. on the dilution tunnel (DT) centreline approximately 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the point where the exhaust enters the dilution tunnel;

shall be of 12 mm minimum inside diameter;

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

may be insulated.

2.4.   Particulate Sampling System

The particulate sampling system is required for collecting the particulates on the particulate filter. In the case of total sampling partial flow dilution, which consists of passing the entire diluted exhaust sample through the filters, dilution (section 2.2, figures 14, 18) and sampling system usually form an integral unit. In the case of fractional sampling partial flow dilution or full flow dilution, which consists of passing through the filters only a portion of the diluted exhaust, the dilution (section 2.2, figures 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19; section 2.3, Figure 20) and sampling systems usually form different units.

In this Directive, the double dilution system (Figure 22) of a full flow dilution system is considered as a specific modification of a typical particulate sampling system as shown in Figure 21. The double dilution system includes all important parts of the particulate sampling system, like filter holders and sampling pump, and additionally.

In order to avoid any impact on the control loops, it is recommended that the sample pump be running throughout the complete test procedure. For the single filter method, a bypass system shall be used for passing the sample through the sampling filters at the desired times. Interference of the switching procedure on the control loops must be minimised.

Figure 21

Particulate sampling system

Image

A sample of the diluted exhaust gas is taken from the dilution tunnel DT of a partial flow or full flow dilution system through the particulate sampling probe PSP and the particulate transfer tube PTT by means of the sampling pump P. The sample is passed through the filter holder(s) FH that contain the particulate sampling filters. The sample flow rate is controlled by the flow controller FC3. If electronic flow compensation EFC (see Figure 20) is used, the diluted exhaust gas flow is used as command signal for FC3.

Figure 22

Double dilution system (full flow system only)

Image

A sample of the diluted exhaust gas is transferred from the dilution tunnel DT of a full flow dilution system through the particulate sampling probe PSP and the particulate transfer tube PTT to the secondary dilution tunnel SDT, where it is diluted once more. The sample is then passed through the filter holder(s) FH that contain the particulate sampling filters. The dilution air flow rate is usually constant whereas the sample flow rate is controlled by the flow controller FC3. If electronic flow compensation EFC (see Figure 20) is used, the total diluted exhaust gas flow is used as command signal for FC3.

2.4.1.   Components of figures 21 and 22

PTT Particulate transfer tube (Figures 21, 22)

The particulate transfer tube must not exceed 1 020 mm in length, and must be minimised in length whenever possible. Where applicable (i.e. for partial flow dilution fractional sampling systems and for full flow dilution systems), the length of the sampling probes (SP, ISP, PSP, respectively, see sections 2.2 and 2.3) shall be included.

The dimensions are valid for:

the partial flow dilution fractional sampling type and the full flow single dilution system from the tip of the probe (SP, ISP, PSP, respectively) to the filter holder;

the partial flow dilution total sampling type from the end of the dilution tunnel to the filter holder;

the full flow double dilution system from the tip of the probe (PSP) to the secondary dilution tunnel.

The transfer tube:

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

may be insulated.

SDT Secondary dilution tunnel (Figure 22)

The secondary dilution tunnel should have a minimum diameter of 75 mm, and should be of sufficient length so as to provide a residence time of at least 0,25 seconds for the doubly-diluted sample. The primary filter holder FH shall be located within 300 mm of the exit of the SDT.

The secondary dilution tunnel:

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

may be insulated.

FH Filter holder(s) (Figures 21, 22)

For primary and back-up filters one filter housing or separate filter housings may be used. The requirements of Annex III, Appendix 4, section 4.1.3 shall be met.

The filter holder(s):

may be heated to no greater than 325 K (52 °C) wall temperature by direct heating or by dilution air pre-heating, provided the air temperature does not exceed 325 K (52 °C) prior to the introduction of the exhaust in the dilution tunnel;

may be insulated.

P Sampling pump (Figures 21, 22)

The particulate sampling pump shall be located sufficiently distant from the tunnel so that the inlet gas temperature is maintained constant (± 3 K), if flow correction by FC3 is not used.

DP Dilution air pump (Figure 22)

The dilution air pump shall be located so that the secondary dilution air is supplied at a temperature of 298 K ± 5 K (25 °C ± 5 °C), if the dilution air is not preheated.

FC3 Flow controller (Figures 21, 22)

A flow controller shall be used to compensate the particulate sample flow rate for temperature and backpressure variations in the sample path, if no other means are available. The flow controller is required if electronic flow compensation EFC (see Figure 20) is used.

FM3 Flow measurement device (Figures 21, 22)

The gas meter or flow instrumentation for the particulate sample flow shall be located sufficiently distant from the sampling pump P so that the inlet gas temperature remains constant (± 3 K), if flow correction by FC3 is not used.

FM4 Flow measurement device (Figure 22)

The gas meter or flow instrumentation for the dilution air flow shall be located so that the inlet gas temperature remains at 298 K ± 5 K (25 °C ± 5 °C).

BV Ball valve (optional)

The ball valve shall have an inside diameter not less than the inside diameter of the particulate transfer tube PTT, and a switching time of less than 0,5 seconds.

Note: If the ambient temperature in the vicinity of PSP, PTT, SDT, and FH is below 293K (20 °C), precautions should be taken to avoid particle losses onto the cool wall of these parts. Therefore, heating and/or insulating these parts within the limits given in the respective descriptions is recommended. It is also recommended that the filter face temperature during sampling be not below 293K (20 °C).

At high engine loads, the above parts may be cooled by a non-aggressive means such as a circulating fan, as long as the temperature of the cooling medium is not below 293K (20 °C).

3.   DETERMINATION OF SMOKE

3.1.   Introduction

Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and figures 23 and 24 contain detailed descriptions of the recommended opacimeter systems. Since various configurations can produce equivalent results, exact conformance with figures 23 and 24 is not required. Additional components such as instruments, valves, solenoids, pumps, and switches may be used to provide additional information and coordinate the functions of the component systems. Other components which are not needed to maintain the accuracy on some systems, may be excluded if their exclusion is based upon good engineering judgement.

The principle of measurement is that light is transmitted through a specific length of the smoke to be measured and that proportion of the incident light which reaches a receiver is used to assess the light obscuration properties of the medium. The smoke measurement depends upon the design of the apparatus, and may be done in the exhaust pipe (full flow in-line opacimeter), at the end of the exhaust pipe (full flow end-of-line opacimeter) or by taking a sample from the exhaust pipe (partial flow opacimeter). For the determination of the light absorption coefficient from the opacity signal, the optical path length of the instrument shall be supplied by the instrument manufacturer.

3.2.   Full Flow Opacimeter

Two general types of full flow opacimeters may be used (Figure 23). With the in-line opacimeter, the opacity of the full exhaust plume within the exhaust pipe is measured. With this type of opacimeter, the effective optical path length is a function of the opacimeter design.

With the end-of-line opacimeter, the opacity of the full exhaust plume is measured as it exits the exhaust pipe. With this type of opacimeter, the effective optical path length is a function of the exhaust pipe design and the distance between the end of the exhaust pipe and the opacimeter.

Figure 23

Full flow opacimeter

Image

3.2.1.   Components of Figure 23

EP Exhaust Pipe

With an in-line opacimeter, there shall be no change in the exhaust pipe diameter within 3 exhaust pipe diameters before or after the measuring zone. If the diameter of the measuring zone is greater than the diameter of the exhaust pipe, a pipe gradually convergent before the measuring zone is recommended.

With an end-of-line opacimeter, the terminal 0,6 m of the exhaust pipe shall be of circular cross section and be free from elbows and bends. The end of the exhaust pipe shall be cut off squarely. The opacimeter shall be mounted centrally to the plume within 25 ± 5 mm of the end of the exhaust pipe.

OPL Optical Path Length

The length of the smoke obscured optical path between the opacimeter light source and the receiver, corrected as necessary for non-uniformity due to density gradients and fringe effect. The optical path length shall be submitted by the instrument manufacturer taking into account any measures against sooting (e.g. purge air). If the optical path length is not available, it shall be determined in accordance with ISO IDS 11614, section 11.6.5. For the correct determination of the optical path length, a minimum exhaust gas velocity of 20 m/s is required.

LS Light source

The light source shall be an incandescent lamp with a colour temperature in the range of 2 800 to 3 250 K or a green light emitting diode (LED) with a spectral peak between 550 and 570 nm. The light source shall be protected against sooting by means that do not influence the optical path length beyond the manufacturers specifications.

LD Light detector

The detector shall be a photocell or a photodiode (with a filter, if necessary).

A = 0,309 x 18,09/541,06 - 0,0266 = -0,0163

B = - 0,209 x 18,09/541,06 + 0,00954 = 0,0026

Formula

Calculation of the emission mass flow rates (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 4.4):

NOx = 0,001587 x 457 x 0,9625 x 563,38 = 393,27 g/h

CO = 0,000966 x 38,1 x 563,38 = 20,735 g/h

HC = 0,000479 x 6,3 x 3 x 563,38 = 5,100 g/h

Calculation of the specific emissions (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 4.5):

The following example calculation is given for CO; the calculation procedure is identical for the other components.

The emission mass flow rates of the individual modes are multiplied by the respective weighting factors, as indicated in Annex III, Appendix 1, section 2.7.1, and summed up to result in the mean emission mass flow rate over the cycle:

CO

= (6,7 x 0,15) + (24,6 x 0,08) + (20,5 x 0,10) + (20,7 x 0,10) + (20,6 x 0,05) + (15,0 x 0,05) + (19,7 x 0,05) + (74,5 x 0,09) + (31,5 x 0,10) + (81,9 x 0,08) + (34,8 x 0,05) + (30,8 x 0,05) + (27,3 x 0,05)

 

= 30,91 g/h

The engine power of the individual modes is multiplied by the respective weighting factors, as indicated in Annex III, Appendix 1, section 2.7.1, and summed up to result in the mean cycle power:

P(n)

= (0,1 x 0,15) + (96,8 x 0,08) + (55,2 x 0,10) + (82,9 x 0,10) + (46,8 x 0,05) + (70,1 x 0,05) + (23,0 x 0,05) + (114,3 x 0,09) + (27,0 x 0,10) + (122,0 x 0,08) + (28,6 x 0,05) + (87,4 x 0,05) + (57,9 x 0,05)

ERS = 5,943 + (5,565 - 5,943) x (1 600 - 1 368) / (1 785 - 1 368) = 5,732 g/kWh

MTU = 681 + (601 - 681) x (1 600 - 1 368) / (1 785 - 1 368) = 641,3 Nm

MRS = 515 + (460 - 515) x (1 600 - 1 368) / (1 785 - 1 368) = 484,3 Nm

EZ = 5,732 + (5,377 - 5,732) x (495 - 484,3) / (641,3 - 484,3) = 5,708 g/kWh

Comparison of the NOx emission values (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 4.6.3):

NOx diff = 100 x (5,878 - 5,708) / 5,708 = 2,98 %

1.2.   Particulate emissions

Particulate measurement is based on the principle of sampling the particulates over the complete cycle, but determining the sample and flow rates (MSAM and GEDF) during the individual modes. The calculation of GEDF depends on the system used. In the following examples, a system with CO2 measurement and carbon balance method and a system with flow measurement are used. When using a full flow dilution system, GEDF is directly measured by the CVS equipment.

2.   ELR TEST

Since Bessel filtering is a completely new averaging procedure in European exhaust legislation, an explanation of the Bessel filter, an example of the design of a Bessel algorithm, and an example of the calculation of the final smoke value is given below. The constants of the Bessel algorithm only depend on the design of the opacimeter and the sampling rate of the data acquisition system. It is recommended that the opacimeter manufacturer provide the final Bessel filter constants for different sampling rates and that the customer use these constants for designing the Bessel algorithm and for calculating the smoke values.

2.1.   General Remarks on the Bessel Filter

Due to high frequency distortions, the raw opacity signal usually shows a highly scattered trace. To remove these high frequency distortions a Bessel filter is required for the ELR-Test. The Bessel filter itself is a recursive, second-order low-pass filter which guarantees the fastest signal rise without overshoot.

Assuming a real time raw exhaust plume in the exhaust tube, each opacimeter shows a delayed and differently measured opacity trace. The delay and the magnitude of the measured opacity trace is primarily dependent on the geometry of the measuring chamber of the opacimeter, including the exhaust sample lines, and on the time needed for processing the signal in the electronics of the opacimeter. The values that characterise these two effects are called the physical and the electrical response time which represent an individual filter for each type of opacimeter.

The goal of applying a Bessel filter is to guarantee a uniform overall filter characteristic of the whole opacimeter system, consisting of:

physical response time of the opacimeter (tp),

electrical response time of the opacimeter (te),

filter response time of the applied Bessel filter (tF).

The resulting overall response time of the system tAver is given by:

Formula

and must be equal for all kinds of opacimeters in order to give the same smoke value. Therefore, a Bessel filter has to be created in such a way, that the filter response time (tF) together with the physical (tp) and electrical response time (te) of the individual opacimeter must result in the required overall response time (tAver). Since tp and te are given values for each individual opacimeter, and tAver is defined to be 1,0 s in this Directive, tF can be calculated as follows:

Formula

By definition, the filter response time tF is the rise time of a filtered output signal between 10 % and 90 % on a step input signal. Therefore the cut-off frequency of the Bessel filter has to be iterated in such a way, that the response time of the Bessel filter fits into the required rise time.

Figure a

Traces of a step input signal and the filtered output signal

Image

In Figure a, the traces of a step input signal and Bessel filtered output signal as well as the response time of the Bessel filter (tF) are shown.

Designing the final Bessel filter algorithm is a multi step process which requires several iteration cycles. The scheme of the iteration procedure is presented below.

Image

2.2.   Calculation of the Bessel algorithm

In this example a Bessel algorithm is designed in several steps according to the above iteration procedure which is based upon Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6.1.

For the opacimeter and the data acquisition system, the following characteristics are assumed:

physical response time tp 0,15 s

electrical response time te 0,05 s

overall response time tAver 1,00 s (by definition in this Directive)

sampling rate 150 Hz

Step 1 Required Bessel filter response time tF :

Formula

Step 2 Estimation of cut-off frequency and calculation of Bessel constants E, K for first iteration:

Formula

Δt = 1/150 = 0,006667 s

Formula

Formula

K = 2 x 7,07948 E - 5 x (0,618034 x 150,0766442 - 1) - 1 = 0,970783

This gives the Bessel algorithm:

Yi = Yi - 1 + 7,07948 E - 5 x (Si + 2 x Si - 1 + Si - 2 - 4 x Yi - 2) + 0,970783 x (Yi - 1 - Yi - 2)

where Si represents the values of the step input signal (either ‘0‧ or ‘1‧) and Yi represents the filtered values of the output signal.

Step 3 Application of Bessel filter on step input:

The Bessel filter response time tF is defined as the rise time of the filtered output signal between 10 % and 90 % on a step input signal. For determining the times of 10 % (t10) and 90 % (t90) of the output signal, a Bessel filter has to be applied to a step input using the above values of fc, E and K.

The index numbers, the time and the values of a step input signal and the resulting values of the filtered output signal for the first and the second iteration are shown in Table B. The points adjacent to t10 and t90 are marked in bold numbers.

In Table B, first iteration, the 10 % value occurs between index number 30 and 31 and the 90 % value occurs between index number 191 and 192. For the calculation of tF,iter the exact t10 and t90 values are determined by linear interpolation between the adjacent measuring points, as follows:

t10 = tlower + Δt x (0,1 - outlower)/(outupper - outlower)

t90 = tlower + Δt x (0,9 - outlower)/(outupper - outlower)

where outupper and outlower, respectively, are the adjacent points of the Bessel filtered output signal, and tlower is the time of the adjacent time point, as indicated in Table B.

t10 = 0,200000 + 0,006667 x (0,1 - 0,099208)/(0,104794 - 0,099208) = 0,200945 s

t90 = 0,273333 + 0,006667 x (0,9 - 0,899147)/(0,901168 - 0,899147) = 1,276147 s

Step 4 Filter response time of first iteration cycle:

tF,iter = 1,276147 - 0,200945 = 1,075202 s

Step 5 Deviation between required and obtained filter response time of first iteration cycle:

Δ = (1,075202 - 0,987421)/0,987421 = 0,081641

Step 6 Checking the iteration criteria:

|Δ| ≤ 0,01 is required. Since 0,081641 > 0,01, the iteration criteria is not met and a further iteration cycle has to be started. For this iteration cycle, a new cut-off frequency is calculated from fc and Δ as follows:

fc,new = 0,318152 x (1 + 0,081641) = 0,344126 Hz

This new cut-off frequency is used in the second iteration cycle, starting at step 2 again. The iteration has to be repeated until the iteration criteria is met. The resulting values of the first and second iteration are summarised in table A.

Step 7 Final Bessel algorithm:

As soon as the iteration criteria has been met, the final Bessel filter constants and the final Bessel algorithm are calculated according to step 2. In this example, the iteration criteria has been met after the second iteration (Δ = 0,006657 ≤ 0,01). The final algorithm is then used for determining the averaged smoke values (see next section 2.3).

2.3.   Calculation of the smoke values

In the scheme below the general procedure of determining the final smoke value is presented.

Image

In figure b, the traces of the measured raw opacity signal, and of the unfiltered and filtered light absorption coefficients (k-value) of the first load step of an ELR-Test are shown, and the maximum value Ymax1,A (peak) of the filtered k trace is indicated. Correspondingly, table C contains the numerical values of index i, time (sampling rate of 150 Hz), raw opacity, unfiltered k and filtered k. Filtering was conducted using the constants of the Bessel algorithm designed in section 2.2 of this Annex. Due to the large amount of data, only those sections of the smoke trace around the beginning and the peak are tabled.

Figure b

Traces of measured opacity N, of unfiltered smoke k and of filtered smoke k

Image

The peak value (i = 272) is calculated assuming the following data of table C. All other individual smoke values are calculated in the same way. For starting the algorithm, S-1, S-2, Y-1 and Y-2 are set to zero.

LA (m)

N ( %)

0,427532

Y271 (m-1)

0,542383

Y270 (m-1)

0,542337

Calculation of the k-value (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6.3.1):

k = - (1/0,430) x ln (1 - (16,783/100)) = 0,427252 m- 1

This value corresponds to S272 in the following equation.

Calculation of Bessel averaged smoke (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6.3.2):

In the following equation, the Bessel constants of the previous section 2.2 are used. The actual unfiltered k-value, as calculated above, corresponds to S272 (Si). S271 (Si-1) and S270 (Si-2) are the two preceding unfiltered k-values, Y271 (Yi-1) and Y270 (Yi-2) are the two preceding filtered k-values.

Y272

= 0,542383 + 8,272777 E - 5 x (0,427252 + 2 x 0,427392 + 0,427532 - 4 x 0,542337) + 0,968410 x (0,542383 - 0,542337)

 

= 0,542389 m-1

This value corresponds to Ymax1,A in the following equation.

Calculation of the final smoke value (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 6.3.3):

From each smoke trace, the maximum filtered k-value is taken for the further calculation. Assume the following values

0,5389

C

0,5207

0,5177

RWA = (0,5424 + 0,5435 + 0,5587) / 3 = 0,5482 m- 1

RWB = (0,5596 + 0,5400 + 0,5389) / 3 = 0,5462 m- 1

RWC = (0,4912 + 0,5207 + 0,5177) / 3 = 0,5099 m- 1

RW = (0,43 x 0,5482) + (0,56 x 0,5462) + (0,01 x 0,5099) = 0,5467 m- 1

Cycle validation (Annex III, Appendix 1, section 3.4)

Before calculating SV, the cycle must be validated by calculating the relative standard deviations of the smoke of the three cycles for each speed.

Work, the family and private life

European Parliament resolution on reconciling professional, family and private lives (2003/2129(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to its resolution of 9 June 1983 on family policy in the European Community (1),

having regard to the Conclusions of the Council and of the ministers responsible for family affairs of 29 September 1989 regarding family policies (2),

having regard to the Council Recommendation 92/241/EEC of 31 March 1992 on child care (3),

having regard to Council Directive 92/85/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of pregnant workers and workers who have recently given birth or are breastfeeding (4),

having regard to its resolution of 14 December 1994 on protection of families and family units at the close of the International Year of the Family (5),

having regard to Council Directive 96/34/EC of 3 June 1996 on the framework agreement on parental leave concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC (6),

having regard to its resolution of 28 January 1999 on the protection of families and children (7),

having regard to the resolution of the Council and of the Ministers for Employment and Social Policy, meeting within the Council of 29 June 2000 on the balanced participation of women and men in family and working life (8),

having regard to the indicators on combining family and professional life adopted by the European Council in 2000,

having regard to Article 9 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

having regard to the Joint Report by the Commission and the Council of March 2003 on supporting national strategies for the future of health care and care for the elderly,

having regard to the fact that 2004 has been proclaimed International Year of the Family,

whereas 2004 marks the tenth anniversary of the proclamation by the UN General Assembly of ‘International Day of Families‧ which has been celebrated every year (on 15 May),

having regard to Article 136, Article 137(1) and Article 141(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community,

having regard to Rule 163 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Women's Rights and Equal Opportunities and the opinion of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (A5-0092/2004),

A.

whereas one of the aims of the European Union is to promote employment and improve living and working conditions,

B.

whereas the European Union supports and complements the activities of the Member States with a view to achieving the objectives set out in Article 136 of the EC Treaty, in particular in the fields of equality between men and women with regard to labour market opportunities and treatment at work,

C.

whereas, with regard to Article 141(3) of the EC Treaty, it is important to protect male and female employees exercising the rights inherent in fatherhood, motherhood or the combination of professional and family lives,

D.

whereas the European Council in Lisbon in March 2000 recognised that it was important to improve all aspects of equal opportunities, in particular by making it easier to reconcile professional and family life, and that such measures should help to ensure that, by 2010, the proportion of women in employment is more than 60 %,

E.

whereas the European Council in Barcelona in March 2002 concluded that the Member States should eliminate obstacles to the participation of women in the labour market and set up, by 2010, childcare facilities for at least 90 % of children between three years old and the mandatory school age and for at least 33 % of children under three years old, which facilities must be equally available in towns and in rural areas,

F.

whereas the Member States may commit to allowing men and women to reconcile family responsibilities and professional responsibilities, as envisaged in the Beijing Programme of Action,

G.

whereas making allowance for the combining of professional and personal lives contributes to the personal fulfilment of men and women, promotes an increase in the rate of employment of women and, hence, in the overall employment rate and in the birth rate,

H.

whereas making allowance for reconciling the different stages of life is not a financial burden for businesses but a useful and relevant investment which will promote long-term growth,

I.

whereas women must be able to choose whether to work, even if they have children, or to stay at home,

J.

whereas the rights of children must be one of the cornerstones at the heart of family policies,

K.

whereas, in the European Union, 17 % of the population is under 15 years old, 16 % of the population is over 65 years old and people with disabilities make up between 10 % and 12 % of the population; whereas, furthermore, at least 15 % of children suffer, to varying degrees, from specific learning difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit disorder, etc.),

1.

Underlines that the European Employment Strategy and the Lisbon Strategy aim at increasing the fairness of employment for women and men and at supporting the social changes needed for this; calls on the Commission, therefore, to give practical effect to the employment guidelines by clarifying the action programmes used to co-finance active measures on national labour markets to promote equal opportunities;

2.

Points out that the adoption of policies and the taking of measures to promote the reconciliation of professional and private life will also make a decisive contribution to tackling the demographic problem faced by the majority of the Member States;

3.

Considers that family policy should create conditions which enable parents to spend more time with their children and that in many cases a more equal division of parents' time between paid work and caring for their children would lead to better contact between parents and children and also have a positive effect on family formation and family stability and considers that a general reduction of daily working time is the best way of combining work and family life;

4.

Is convinced that the significant pay gap between men and women is both a major cause and a result of the present unequal division and value of labour as between men and women;

5.

Encourages the Commission to draw up, on the basis of the indicators on combining professional and family life adopted by the European Council in 2000, a follow-up report on the situation in the Member States and accession states, and at the same time encourages the Member States to develop various forms of cooperation and networks for the exchange of good practices, in order to obtain accurate information on the actual situation;

6.

Calls on the Member States and accession states to reconsider the national systems for gathering data and gradually to perfect them, in order to ensure that statistics for the nine indicators adopted by the European Council in 2000 can be produced every year; also calls on the Member States and the accession states to create Internet sites incorporating data banks on existing support structures;

7.

Encourages the Member States and accession states to analyse the impact of their policies on families (family mainstreaming), while at the same time calling on them to separate gender mainstreaming and family mainstreaming; also calls on the Commission, in the context of its communication of 2002 on impact assessment (COM(2002) 276), to take account of the various dimensions and definitions of the family in order to identify the social impact of the measures proposed;

8.

Urges the Commission to take the measures needed to draw up a European Parliament and Council framework directive on reconciling professional, family and private lives, with a view to implementing the ad hoc Council resolution of 29 June 2000 and the conclusions of the European Council in Barcelona;

9.

Calls upon the EU institutions to improve their employees' opportunities for combining work, family and personal life throughout life, using innovative models for working time and work organisation and bearing in mind that both sexes must have equal opportunites and responsibilities and that, as a minimum, the social policies acquis of the Union is fully reflected in the working conditions of all its staff;

10.

Calls on the Commission to organise an annual conference on ‘Reconciling work and family life‧ together with the European social partners, the Member States, NGOs and representatives of the EP's competent committees in order to take stock of progress made and to analyse outstanding problems and find solutions;

11.

Recommends that the Commission conduct an awareness-raising campaign and introduce pilot projects to facilitate the balanced participation of women and men in professional and family life;

12.

Urges the Member States and accession states to promote information and awareness-raising campaigns in order to change attitudes so as to bring about better sharing of family responsibilities within couples among both the general population and specific target groups;

13.

Observes that private households can also be a source of qualified jobs in the field of running the household, bringing up children and care, and calls on the Member States to promote home economics as an occupational field;

14.

Suggests that each Member State and accession state draw up an information and awareness-raising guide for the social partners, for business leaders, human resources directors and employees, setting out arguments in favour of promoting good practices with the aim of reconciling professional and family life more effectively;

15.

Notes that, alongside support for parents in caring for children and persons in need of care in the form of regular allowances and tax exemptions or reductions, a new way should be found to offer parents greater freedom of choice, for example in the form of cash benefits or vouchers (childcare vouchers, vouchers for the recruitment of home helps, service vouchers or coupons) and, moreover, that those who opt to work within the family and to bring up children must enjoy the same social protection in old age as those who have been gainfully employed;

16.

Recommends the adoption of fiscal policies which neither discriminate against the family nor penalise households on the basis of size; welcomes policies with social aims of this kind already adopted successfully by the Member States and by regional and municipal authorities, within the scope of their respective competences; furthermore, and without prejudice to the principle of subsidiarity, considers that if there are discriminatory weightings in policies governing taxation, other levies and tariffs, they should be of a positive nature, favouring families and their unifying role, and never negative forms of discrimination penalising families, in particular larger households;

17.

Emphasises the need to introduce specific allowances in all the Member States and accession states, especially for children with disabilities, families with a large number of children or multiple births and to help low-income families with three children or more;

18.

Notes the specific needs of single-parent families, of which the parent is most often a woman, and hence calls on the Member States and accession states to increase aid to such families, to increase the credit given for periods spent bringing up children and to guarantee individual social security rights;

19.

Calls on the Member States and accession countries to use an ‘audit for a family-friendly working environment‧ to encourage firms to implement a family-oriented personnel policy;

20.

Calls on the Member States to consider that part of the expenditure incurred by businesses relating to employees with families should be borne by the State, since measures eligible for a tax rebate of this sort might, for example, encourage part-time work, the involvement of employers in paying for childcare, and recruiting people to replace those on maternity, paternity and parental leave and so on;

21.

Welcomes the conclusions of the European Council in Barcelona, which commit the Member States to eliminating obstacles to the participation of women in the labour market and to introducing by 2010 childcare for 90 % of children between three years of age and the mandatory school age, and for at least 33 % of children under three; emphasis, however, that in order to achieve these objectives, national, regional or local authorities must step up their financial contributions towards the creation and/or operation of high-quality childcare services at affordable prices;

22.

Is deeply concerned about the work/family situation in the new Member States where previous child care infrastructures have largely been demolished;

23.

Calls on the Member States and the accession states to encourage flexibility and diversity in services for the care of children, the elderly and other dependants, in order to increase choice and cater for the preferences, needs and specific circumstances of children and their parents (especially children with special needs), including the availability of such services in all areas and regions of the Member States and accession states;

24.

Also encourages the national, regional and local authorities, the social partners, businesses and other competent entities to facilitate the development of mini-crèches in firms or groups of firms, as well as the flexibility of working hours, school timetables (including extracurricular activities and supervised homework) and the timetables of urban services (in particular opening hours of service-providers and shops, transport, and so on);

25.

Recommends, without prejudice to the principle of subsidiarity, that the Member States and regional and municipal authorities, within the scope of their respective competences, devise and pursue family-friendly housing and town-planning policies, creating inclusive and ‘human‧ urban environments with a sense of community and space in order to meet the basic needs of households consisting of several generations (children and young people, people of working age and retired, elderly people) under conditions likely to promote the compatibility of the school, professional, personal and family lives of all their members;

26.

Urges the Member States and the accession states to facilitate access to paid parental leave with a non-transferable portion, respecting freedom of choice for parents, as well as access to other forms of long-term leave, including career breaks, as well as special short-term leave (leave for breast-feeding or where a family member is ill), whilst envisaging a degree of flexibility in the organisation of leave, in order to facilitate the resumption of work by those returning to the labour market;

27.

Calls on the Member States and accession states to implement fully Directive 75/117/EEC (9) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women, and to take decisions on parental leave and other periods of absence on the basis, inter alia, of equal pay;

28.

Calls for ancillary training and further training measures to be stepped up in order to ensure the integration of those returning to the labour market, including those returning after sabbatical leave, in which connection special care should be taken to ensure that it is possible to take advantage of further vocational training courses during parental leave;

29.

Recalls that learning throughout the entire working life as well as access for women to the information society, is possible only if study leave is financially viable, by means of either public funding or employment-related arrangements;

30.

Also emphasises the importance of flexible working hours and distance working, where possible, which allow both male and female employees to meet their professional, family and educational responsibilities, with a balance being struck between their interests and those of the employer;

31.

Considers it essential to promote quality part-time work for both men and women; emphasises, however, that part-time work may be an effective way of reconciling family and employment and promoting equality of opportunity only if people of all levels of qualification are able to secure part-time work, if long-term career prospects are not affected, the level of social protection provided is reasonable and the workload is manageable;

32.

Criticises the fact that the issue of assistance for the oldest section of the population is not receiving the attention it deserves, and urges the Member States to promote adequate provision of high-quality services, including domestic help for the elderly, provided by staff with adequate training;

33.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments of the Member States and the accession countries.

whereas disabled women experience the same sort of discrimination, compared with disabled men, as is generally experienced by women compared with men, and also compared with non-disabled women, as well as having all the disadvantages of a disability, although the disadvantages vary according to the nature and severity of the disability,

H.

whereas it is of prime importance to implement policies that will enable disabled women to lead an independent life, allow them to support themselves through work, where this is possible, choose their private, professional and family life, have access to education, employment and public and private places, and enable the whole of society to benefit from their experience, abilities and talents; whereas policies for disabled people must be devised, adopted and assessed with the aim of ensuring equal treatment for disabled women,

I.

whereas the critical areas for improving the status of disabled women are the promotion of education and training, employment, social policy, involvement in decision-making, participation and integration in social and cultural life, the right to sexuality, health and motherhood and the right to found a family, protection against violence and sexual abuse, promotion of self-esteem, promotion of networks and organisations for disabled women and their involvement in decision-making, and improvement of the media image of disabled women,

J.

whereas migrant women represent on average 50 % of the immigrant population in the EU and their economic contribution is significant for the survival of their families and the economic stability of their countries of origin; whereas these women are very often faced with double or multiple forms of discrimination, as women in their communities and because of their ethnic origin,

K.

whereas racism, xenophobia and discrimination encountered by migrant women are common occurrences throughout the EU; whereas these contribute to poverty and social exclusion and, consequently, make it difficult to get access to resources and basic social services, such as health care, housing, welfare and social protection benefits, and access to the employment market, education, training and promotion, rates of pay and social security,

L.

whereas migrant women are particularly vulnerable to poverty and social exclusion because of their low level of education and their cultural and language differences; whereas they are often victims of trafficking and other forms of violence such as domestic violence, prostitution, forced marriage and genital mutilation,

M.

whereas women who have joined their husbands under the family reunification policy do not have individual rights and are dependent on their husband's legal status; whereas these women run the risk of expulsion in the event of divorce or their husband's death and are often powerless to report violence when they are the victims thereof,

N.

whereas, with the future enlargement of the EU and the accession of five countries in particular — the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania — which have the most sizeable Roma communities, the Roma will become the largest ethnic minority in the EU and thus the poverty, exclusion and economic, social and political discrimination that they face will become a challenge and a major subject for concern for the EU,

O.

whereas Roma women are victims of multiple discrimination, they are discriminated against and marginalised in society because of their ethnic minority status and they are oppressed within their own community on gender grounds; whereas, by virtue of this situation, these women are simultaneously confronted with racism, sexism, poverty, exclusion and violation of their human rights, resulting in a limited life expectancy and a high mortality rate, illiteracy due to restricted access to education, the persistence of sexual prejudices, limited access to reproductive and sexual health care, very early motherhood and/or forced marriages, abduction, trafficking, forced prostitution, sexual abuse and domestic violence, non-participation in the employment market and non-participation in decisionmaking in their community,

Disabled women

1.

Urges the Member States to promote the fundamental rights of disabled women and, in particular, to ensure that Council Directive 2000/78/EC on equal treatment in employment and occupation is incorporated into law and implemented as soon as possible;

2.

Calls on the Council, the Commission and the Member States to take account of the interests and needs of disabled women in all relevant policies, programmes and Community instruments such as the European Social Fund, the Equal initiative, legislation and the action programme against discrimination, the action programme on equality between women and men, the combating of social exclusion, health and culture programmes, the Daphne programme, initiatives in connection with the information society, research, etc.;

3.

Welcomes the Commission's action plan (2004-2010) for disabled people; calls on the Commission to take account of gender aspects in drawing up priorities for the plan and its implementation; stresses in this connection the need to include information on the situation of disabled women in future Commission reports on the situation of disabled people in an enlarged Europe;

4.

Calls on the EU and Member States to develop statistics on the situation of disabled people, with a breakdown by sex, and to carry out studies on disabled women;

5.

Calls on the Member States to encourage disabled women's access to education, training and employment in an ordinary environment, to assist their real integration in society and development of their autonomy, self-esteem and self-defence, in order to avoid the negative effects of excessive protection;

6.

Calls on the Member States to encourage the occupational reintegration of disabled women, whether in relation to training offered or the possibility of combining training and family responsibilities, e.g. training locations, care of dependent persons, flexible hours, part-time options, facilities and transport infrastructure, personal assistance or contact with the family; urges the two sides of industry to promote equal opportunities and access to employment and training for disabled women, including migrant women, in their measures and collective agreements;

7.

Calls on the Member States to encourage the formation of networks of disabled women and support groups, at national, regional and local level, with a view to improving disabled women's means of expression and their involvement in social and political life and to providing premises, financial resources, transport facilities and facilities for the care of children or other dependent people;

8.

Calls on the Member States to take measures to increase disabled women's involvement in political life and decision-making processes;

9.

Calls on all parties involved, including the media, to undertake initiatives to change attitudes and behaviour towards disabled women, and to involve disabled women in the drawing up and implementation of these initiatives;

10.

Calls on the Member States to take vigorous measures against all forms of violence against disabled women and girls, especially those in institutions, and to undertake studies specifically on violence against disabled women, to determine the origin and scale of this violence and to ensure better defined measures;

Migrant women

11.

Welcomes the legislation and action programme against discrimination but points out that these measures do not include equality between men and women; in view of multiple forms of sex discrimination, calls for equality between men and women to be integrated into policies, programmes and measures to combat racism, discrimination and social exclusion;

12.

Calls on the Member States and the Commission to do everything possible to ensure effective application of the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and its optional protocol, and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination;

13.

Believes that the underlying tension in the EU's increasingly multi-ethnic and multicultural societies is linked to the sharing out of the labour market and the coexistence of cultures; is of the opinion that this situation, which fuels racism and racial discrimination, particularly affects women, on both gender and ethnic grounds, and leads to social exclusion, a precarious legal status, various forms of violence, difficulties in access to the labour market, the underrating of their contribution to the host society and the persistence of a stereotyped view of migrant women as a docile, flexible and cheap labour force;

14.

Calls on the Member States, with the Commission's assistance, to draw up a strategy with accompanying measures, to promote the integration of migrant women in the host country by:

organising courses in the host country's language and general culture at affordable prices;

setting up centres for health consultation, legal aid, occupational training as a preliminary to looking for work, and refuges for women who are victims of domestic violence,

establishing parenting support centres,

establishing good-quality child-care services at affordable prices,

increasing public service staff's awareness of cultural diversity and gender equality,

promoting anti-racism awareness campaigns and intercultural dialogue in the field of education,

promoting awareness campaigns among migrant populations on the importance of education for women and girls,

involving migrant women in political life and decision-making processes,

promoting studies, research and statistics broken down by sex;

15.

Recommends that Member States and Community bodies take particular account of the situation of Muslim women in the EU and take measures to protect these women against violation of their human rights, in religious communities, and against practices that hinder their education, training, employment, advancement and, above all, integration in the host countries; calls for measures against female genital mutilation and forced marriages, and for measures that recognise this type of persecution as a legitimate reason for requesting asylum;

16.

Considers that migrants, including women, who hold a long-term residence permit in a Member State should benefit from rights and obligations comparable to those of European Union citizens , as the only appropriate means of combating all forms of discrimination and creating an inclusive society;

Roma women

17.

Welcomes the EU's active support for efforts by public authorities, NGOs and other players who are working to improve the Roma's levels of integration and Roma women's situation in the Member States and acceding and candidate countries, by policies, programmes and projects to combat discrimination, poverty and social exclusion;

18.

Nevertheless, draws the attention of the Commission and governments concerned to the need to ensure (a) the effective application of policies implemented at Community and national level that are likely to improve Roma women's economic, social and political situation, their involvement in the decision-making process and protection of their human rights, (b) the inclusion of the issues concerning Roma populations in general, and equality of treatment and opportunity for Roma women in particular, in all relevant polices and programmes relating to employment policies and social inclusion, the European Social Fund, the Equal initiative, education and training programmes, the Daphne programme, and legislation and the action programme against discrimination, (c) consultation of Roma women when drawing up any programme or project likely to affect them and when adopting positive measures on their behalf;

19.

Considers that the lack of adequate data and statistics in the Member States and acceding and candidate countries makes it difficult to understand the scale of discrimination against the Roma, especially Roma women, and acts as a barrier to devising effective policies and assessing the impact of policies that have already been implemented;

20.

Calls on the governments concerned to take measures to improve the reproductive and sexual health protection of Roma women, to prevent and put an end to forced sterilisation, and to promote family planning, alternative arrangements to early marriages and sex education;

*

21.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission, the governments of the Member States, the acceding countries and the candidate countries.

having regard to the resolution adopted by the HIV/Aids Conference hosted by the Irish Council Presidency in Dublin from 23-24 February 2004,

having regard to Rule 163 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Development and Cooperation and the opinion of the Committee on Women's Rights and Equal Opportunities (A5-0055/2004),

A.

whereas the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development adopted by 179 participating states in 1994 in Cairo and the consensus secured thereby was confirmed afresh five years later when the Programme of Action was reviewed,

B.

whereas it is mainly women and children who live below the poverty line, and whereas it is mainly women and girls who are denied access to education — 57 % of the children who do not attend primary school are girls —, so that girls and women are also severely disadvantaged when it comes to access to family planning measures,

C.

whereas the Cairo Conference focused on a range of population and development objectives, mainly sustained economic growth, poverty eradication, education, gender equality, infant, child and maternal mortality reduction and, for the first time, the needs and rights of individual women and men, instead of setting abstract demographic targets,

D.

reaffirming that everyone has the right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, that reproductive health-service programmes should provide the widest range of services without any coercion and that all couples and individuals have the basic right to decide freely and responsibly the number of their children and the timing of the parenthood and to have access to information on family planning, education on prevention and the means to do so (20),

E.

whereas sex education and family planning services must also make specific reference to men's responsibility for the reproductive health of their partners and family-oriented birth control,

F.

whereas, according to the Programme of Action, ‘all countries should strive to make accessible, through the primary health-care system, reproductive health to all individuals of appropriate ages as soon as possible and no later than the year 2015‧ (21),

G.

whereas the implementation of the Programme of Action so as to attain the Millennium Development Goals is also essential for the purposes of guaranteeing reproductive health, since three of the Millennium Development Goals are directly connected with reproductive health (reducing child mortality rates, improving maternal health and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases); whereas the links between action to combat poverty, women's access to education and training, and sexual and reproductive health are broadly recognised and investment in those areas is particularly beneficial,

H.

regretting that, in 2000, total expenditure (including UN appropriations and loans) accounted for no more than 45.6 % of the target set for that year in the Programme of Action, with donor countries contributing only 45 % of the share of funds which they had undertaken to provide under the Cairo Programme of Action, while the developing countries contributed as much as 76 %,

I.

whereas not all the donor countries feel committed to the issue to the same extent, and whereas that results in a massive funding gap for the sexual and reproductive health sector, although the European Union has played a key role in the short-term provision of funds and in supporting the Programme of Action by taking legislative measures,

J.

whereas, at the International Parliamentarians' Conference on the implementation of the Cairo Programme of Action, held in Ottawa in 2002, Parliamentarians undertook to press for between five and ten per cent of national budgets to be devoted to population policy and sexual and reproductive health,

K.

whereas the European Population Forum, which was organised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and involved numerous parliamentarians and non-governmental organisations, specifically confirmed the Cairo Action Programme as a common basis for action in the area of sexual and reproductive health and the associated rights,

L.

whereas the Mexico City Policy withholds USAID funds from any foreign organisation that, with non-US money, performs, refers, counsels or advocates for termination of pregnancy, regardless of whether termination of pregnancy is legal in that country; whereas the MCP has worsened the problems it intended to resolve: as clinics close and access to reproductive health services becomes more difficult, fewer poor women world-wide can afford contraception, leading to an increase in unwanted pregnancies — and consequently abortions, many of them unsafe; this in turn increases the maternal mortality toll,

M.

whereas the need to ensure gender equality is no longer seen merely as a question of rights and good governance but also, and increasingly, as an aspect of economic efficiency, since progress in gender equality frequently has a positive impact on the welfare of society as a whole,

N.

concerned that, in some regions of the world, the false belief that men are supposedly superior to women leads to forced gender-specific abortions or the murder of new-born girls, so that, for example, according to the population census in China, 120 boys were born in 2000 for every 100 girls, which has led UNICEF to estimate that, in a few years' time, there will be 50 million men who will not be able to find a wife,

O.

whereas in many cases cultural, religious, social and economic factors and the human rights situation are not conducive to female emancipation and self-determination,

P.

aware that large numbers of girls and women throughout the world become the victims of socially structured violence, namely male domestic or military violence, rape in times of war or crisis, enforced pregnancies, sexual abuse and women and girls in every age group being forced into prostitution, genital mutilation, arranged marriages, the abandonment or sale of new-born girls, etc, which are all violations of universal human rights, run counter to the right of sexual self-determination and seriously jeopardise women's reproductive and mental health,

Q.

aware that, according to UN surveys, every third pregnancy worldwide is unwanted or unplanned and that more than 300 million couples have no access to contraceptives, with the frequent result that women undergo abortions in unsafe conditions which have serious consequences for their health or may even result in death,

R.

whereas every year more than 500,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth, and Millennium Development Goal 5 is to ‘reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio‧, and whereas lack of access to basic health services and to reproductive health services and education, e.g. prenatal consultations, contributes to the fact that pregnancy remains a major cause of death or disabilities in women of developing countries,

S.

reaffirming, in conformity with the Programme of Action, that the family is the basic unit of society and is entitled to comprehensive protection and support,

T.

whereas fewer than 1 % of women in the countries most seriously affected by HIV have access to services for the prevention of transmission of that virus from mother to child, and 3.2 million children under the age of 15 are infected with HIV, and whereas half of all new HIV infections affect young people, including girls and young women who constitute a very high-risk category, reflecting the need for specific HIV prevention programmes for young people,

U.

whereas, currently, 1 000 000 000 young people are entering the reproductive phase of their lives,

V.

concerned that numerous HIV/AIDS infections are caused by the use of dirty needles since, according to WHO statistics, 75 % of all injections worldwide involve the use of needles that are not sterile, and aware that, in seven Chinese provinces, an estimated 370 000 people have become infected with HIV because of poor hygiene when they were donating blood,

W.

having regard to the alarming spread of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS, necessitating the full integration of programmes for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections/HIV within sexual and reproductive health programmes,

X.

whereas, today, 80 % of all refugees worldwide are women and children; whereas, when people are forced to flee their homes, maternal mortality rates are frequently higher because of poor nutrition and rapidly succeeding pregnancies; and whereas unprotected sex and situations involving genderspecific violence lead to an increase in the number of cases of sexually transmitted diseases,

Y.

whereas the WHO's plan to train tens of thousands of ‘barefoot doctors‧ to provide health services in rural and poor areas is a step in the right direction,

Z.

regretting that conservative circles have succeeded in capping or even reducing funds for family planning and education, one result being, for example, that the USA, through the reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy, suspended its commitments for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and for NGOs active in this field from 2002 onwards; applauding in this respect the Commission's initiative of compensating for the loss in funding,

AA.

welcoming the contribution, often made with considerable difficulty, of the organisations responsible, such as UNFPA, which should be given more comprehensive support, inter alia in cooperation with the European Union's services and the Member States' Foreign Offices, with a view to improving health services, offering the possibility of choice and preventing avoidable deaths among women in the prime of their lives,

AB.

whereas measures such as primary healthcare services or basic education programmes may not be included by the industrialised nations and the developing countries when they are calculating expenditure on population policy, despite their connection therewith,

AC.

whereas the costs and social consequences of failing adequately to meet the reproductive health needs and rights of the biggest ever generation of young people — 1.2 billion — about to enter their childbearing years would be very high, since this age group is already disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS infections and unwanted pregnancies,

AD.

whereas, in the implementation of the Programme of Action, civil society has an important and complementary role to play, and whereas the Commission should operate more closely with civil society groups, especially women's groups, women's associations, family planning o ganisations, and also private enterprises, especially in its country strategy documents,

AE.

whereas the media have a particularly important role to play in consciousness-shaping and imparting information,

1.

Calls for the publication of a comprehensive overview of progress in the implementation of the Cairo Programme of Action to mark the tenth anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 2004 from every responsible UN body and, above all, from the governments of the EU Member States, the Commission and the ACP institutions, as well as from the non-governmental organisations concerned;

2.

Welcomes the organisation of the Round Table on ICPD+10 to review and assess progress made and the remaining challenges for the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, and congratulates the Commission on its support for this initiative;

3.

Calls on the European Union to publish a round-up of the initiatives launched so far, and calls on the Member States, in accordance with their undertakings in the area of public development aid (PDA), to make more funding available for the protection of reproductive health;

4.

Calls on the European Union, its Member States and the Accession Countries to meet in full the commitments given by them with regard to the implementation and the financing of the Cairo Programme of Action, including basic, secondary and higher education and training, especially for girls and women, elementary medical services and easy and affordable access for all young people, both women and men, throughout the reproductive phase in their lives, to high-quality health services for the protection of their sexual and reproductive health and of their right to decide equally, freely and responsibly in this field,

5.

Calls on the Commission, to that end, to make the Programme of Action a key issue in its cooperation with third countries and at international fora and to devise strategies for its joint implementation;

6.

Calls on the European Union and its Member States to integrate sexual and reproductive health and rights into their development policies and, in that context, to seek to reduce infant, child and maternal mortality rates;

7.

Calls on the EU and its Member States to engage the United States in an informed debate about the impact of the reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy worldwide, encouraging President George W. Bush to rescind it;

8.

Calls for a greater share of humanitarian and emergency aid to be used to benefit the reproductive health of people in emergency situations;

9.

Considers it essential to treat the poorest of the poor in the countries in question as priority groups, for example through targeted interventions in programming, since these are the people who suffer most from lack of access to reproductive health care measures;

10.

Calls on the European Union and the developing countries, in particular the ACP countries, to pay particular attention to the distress of a large number of women — especially young women — in rural areas in the developing countries who suffer from vaginal fistula (an estimated 0.3 % of all pregnancies), and to do everything possible to prevent this disease and ensure proper treatment;

11.

Stresses that abortion must not be regarded as a family planning method, but calls for legal and medically safe interventions to be possible for women who have no other way out of their difficulties, in order to protect their reproductive and mental health, which would mean a reduction in maternal mortality in developing countries, since 14 % of the women who do not survive labour are victims of botched abortions;

12.

Calls on states to refrain from prosecuting women who have had an illegal abortion;

13.

Calls on the European Union and its Member States, to that end, to coordinate activities among the donor countries more efficiently and to provide more funds for programmes in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights in order to fulfil the international commitments made in Cairo in 1994;

14.

Calls on the EU and the international community as a whole, in the absence of a cure for AIDS, to increase resources for, and commitment to, international research and development of an AIDS vaccine and comprehensive clinical trials, particularly in developing countries;

15.

Considers it appropriate to make budgetary assistance for healthcare available to developing countries, but insists that steps be taken to ensure that this aid is used also to maintain or restore reproductive health;

16.

Stresses the need to improve access for women to education, economic independence and decisionmaking processes as essential rights and conditions for development, thus reducing gender-related inequality and poverty by empowering women;

17.

Stresses the importance of useful, active involvement of young people in all projects, programmes and measures that will have a positive impact on their lives;

18.

Calls on the Commission to develop a framework agreement which will encourage implementation of the Cairo objectives by 2015 and coordinate financial cooperation efforts on the part of the European Union, the Member States and the other institutional donors, so that the agreed objectives relating to total resources for programmes in the areas of population and reproductive health, including HIV/Aids, can still be achieved;

19.

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to support research efforts towards developing protection against sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/Aids, and contraceptive methods which are easily usable by women;

20.

Considers it necessary to raise the awareness of members of Commission delegations of the objectives set in Cairo and to inform them further on gender-specific issues, in order to hasten the achievement of the health and population goals which have been set;

21.

Expects the WHO and all others responsible in this field to ensure that every conceivable effort is made to prevent HIV infection from dirty needles by taking the appropriate hygiene measures, in order to prevent damage to reproductive health caused by circumstances beyond the individual's control which can lead to life-threatening infections even though safe sex has been practised;

22.

Calls on the European Union and its Member States, and governments and institutions in the developing countries, to undertake, in cooperation with those countries, widespread information and advice campaigns, as well as other appropriate measures, in developing countries with the following objectives:

the provision of sex education and information for children and young people in a form commensurate with their age and gender, which must be in keeping with their capabilities and life circumstances,

the fight against sexual exploitation and repression and/or support for victims of sexual exploitation and repression,

emphasis on the fact that every person is worthy of respect, whatever that person's sexual orientation,

emphasis on the right of every individual to self-determination in matters relating to sex,

adequate and affordable access to contraceptives,

general improvement in health care, including access to affordable sexual and reproductive health services;

provision of a sufficient supply of affordable medicinal products for the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, with the pharmaceutical industry also being involved by facilitating treatment with generic medicines, and specific research into child-focussed anti-retroviral therapy,

increased provision of integrated services to prevent the transmission of diseases from mother to child,

facilitation of medically safe abortions,

provision of the information required to ensure safe pregnancy and motherhood;

23.

Calls on the Commission and the ACP Council of Ministers to give reproductive health protection high priority in the framework of ACP cooperation, and to include the necessary measures in this area in the country strategy papers;

24.

Calls on the European Union, its Member States, the accession countries and the ACP countries to involve civil society organisations, including private enterprises, and particularly the media, in attaining their objectives;

25.

Calls on the developing countries to make available funds which they have earmarked for health care;

26.
